An accessible atlas that targets the core geography case study requirements at Key Stage 3 and retains a large proportion of generic mapping content The Oxford School Atlas is a completely new, up-to-date atlas with digital maps that are accurate and easy-to-read. Satellite images, photographs and artwork are used to enhance the themes chosen in the atlas. The mapping is very clear, the level of detail accessible to all 10+ geographers and the topics specifically chosen to cover the key curriculum requirements. Easy-to-use features include a multi-access contents page, clear explanations of graphics, country data files, a two-colour index of place names, and flags of the world at a usable size. There is
comprehensive coverage of the British Isles, together with continental and world mapping and a world statistical section. It includes case studies on topics that will appeal to children such as earthquakes and volcanoes, flooding and tsunamis, hurricanes and weather patterns, economy and tourism as well as specific country studies on Italy, Kenya, Brazil, Japan, and Antarctica. Features- Exceptional clarity of mapping (derived from the Oxford Primary Atlas)
- Optimum balance of topographic mapping and key case study topographic and thematic maps (approx 75% generic content, 25% case studies)
- Key skills section
- Content linked to National Literacy and Numeracy
Strategies at KS3
- A more illustrated atlas than competitors - with photographs and artwork
- Tabulated statistical data, including graphical representation of selected datasets
- A more judicious selection and range of case study content (from single inset maps to two page spreads, covering countries and themes).
