This resource focuses on an illustrated map, leaflet and website detailing the 58 sites in the UK which UNESCO has honoured with status Biosphere Reserve, Creative City, Global Geopark or World Heritage Site. This document can be studied from many different points of view and levels. We chose to target A2 students with a dual focus on British geography and sustainable development as defined by UNESCO.
Most pupils have some knowledge of London, but the overall geography of the United Kingdom is not always clear. However, the object of this lesson is not to gain extensive geographical capacities, it should only be seen as an introduction to some more or less famous places in the UK and above all as an exercise in finding information on a website and justifying a choice.
This is the site which is used. You can download the illustrated map and leaflet here.
