Cultural Diversity Examination context...

The pre-release material for the Edexcel 'A' level specification for the June exam has now been released. These are questions for an exam for UK students aged 16-18. One of the options is called "The World of Cultural Diversity" and I have blogged about it before...


Here is the question for this year: the second part will involve the students in doing some research.



Explore the concept of cultural diversity and varying views about globalisation‘s impact on cultures and their diversity.
Research the contrasting influences of globalisation on cultural diversity at a range of locations and scales.
Over at the Edexcel GCE Ning that I set up (moderated membership) there is plenty of opportunity for discussion on these themes, but if any readers have suggestions for appropriate places for those researching this question, you can add them below as comments....
Thanks in advance

He riffed on the idea of ' sustainability ' and how every architect and development trumpeted its sustainable credentials. New words like : "Sustain-abulous" and "Sustain-astic" ! Called it "architectural correctness"... "It's a slogan of conformist unoriginality..." "The very act of making a building is energy hungry and vastly wasteful even if the building is an eco-igloo of Fairtrade otter dropp

On the trail of the 'Detectorists'

Image
As I was in Suffolk last week, I headed for Framlingham as I knew that there were various locations from the series 'Detectorists' and also a wonderful pub just a few miles away where we could go for lunch. Parked up in the Market Square, and from there it was a short walk to several locations. Here are plenty more on a map. Managed to track down four locations: the outside of the 'Two Brewers' pub (the interior was filmed elsewhere), Lance's upstairs flat, the shop where Lance's former partner sells Spiritual goods and scented candles, and the village hall where the DMDC met. Here's me outside said hut. Don't forget the uniformbooks book of course. Still available and an excellent read.
