Exploring Geography comprehensively covers
the Leaving Cert geography syllabus, and focuses on key areas of the
Leaving Certificate exam at Higher and Ordinary levels. It will also
give you a passion for the world around you, and will encourage you to
be curious about the physical and human environment long after you have
completed your Leaving Certificate exam.
Exploring Geography is a bright,
well-illustrated textbook with a balanced blend of diagrams,
maps, photographs, satellite images, statistical data, up-to-date case
studies and the most recent census data (2016).
Simplified maps and two-dimensional diagrams
have been included so as to assist you in making more use of diagrams
in all areas of the course, and will be of enormous benefit to you
when preparing for your exam.
The KWL (Know, Want to know, Learned)
teaching-and-learning strategy underpins the text. The words that you
already know from the Junior Cycle or from your experience activates
your prior knowledge. This in turn sparks interest, and even if a topic
is challenging, you will be reassured by the fact that you already know
something about it.
Mind maps provide summaries at the end of chapters
relating to regions. The mind maps focus on primary, secondary and
tertiary economic activities so as to aid revision and exam preparation.
Exploring Geography is accompanied by a workbook, the Geographer’s Journal;
it encourages independent learning and will enable you to build an
invaluable study aid in preparation for the Leaving Certificate exam.
