Host: Christian has been a Geography teacher for 9 years, teaching year groups from KS3 to KS5. He specialised in outdoor fieldwork prior to teaching. Alongside teaching, for the past 3 years, Christian has been an Examiner which allows him to understand exactly what is expected of students to receive the grades they wish to achieve.Hard and soft engineering are both approaches to fix/prevent coastal erosion. In this lesson, students will examine the strategies to protect a coastline and how these strategies work. Once students have gained a better understanding, they learn to sort them between hard and soft engineering! This class is aimed at students in Years 10/11 who want to feel more confident going into their Geography GCSE.
