Giles are farmers: How are their lives connected?

small unit on the Geography of Drugs (which probably gives the
game away!) The link is

Why is Omar
stitching footballs secretly at home?
Football mystery Robert Gray, Head of Geography at
Nottingham Bluecoat School has created this mystery which
forms the assessment for their World Sport unit in year 7. We
used the Oxford Geog.1 texts to provide the information for the
Mystery cards, and ask the students to use the writing frame
(based on Geoff Hannan's ideas of "go for 5") to provide a
structure to their written answer.
Writing frame To prepare the students we talk about the idea
of the mystery as a "big question", and ask them to consider
what the little (sub) questions might be to help us answer the
mystery.
