Get your first new lessons of the year firing with a Geography Thunk

So what's a 'Thunk'? Well its a stimulus - often pictorial - for getting students thinking, exploring and enquiring - a 'chunk of thinking'. It's not only a useful way to settle a new class into 'thinking like geographers', but it's a quick and simple way to get an impression about what individuals in your new class know about geography, to what depth and whether they can pose geography questions. And for those who can't - well it's a way of demonstrating how geographers go about the business of studying the planet.
