Recently, there has been a positive and active atmosphere in the geography classes for seventh and eighth graders, as well as the social studies class for sixth graders. Students have been engaging in discussions on global important topics while acquiring knowledge.


The recent unit for sixth-grade students is titled "Fairness and Development," which explores topics such as poverty, regional development disparities, and factors influencing national development. In this unit, students have had many opportunities to present on stage and express their viewpoints. Through this approach, they are able to better understand and pay attention to social issues and contribute their own suggestions to address these problems.

The seventh-grade geography unit is focused on "Global Citizens," starting from Asia, the continent we live in, and delving into Asia's six major subregions and prominent countries such as India and Russia. Students learn about the cultural, economic, and natural environmental characteristics of different regions through maps, landscape images, and case studies. The inclusion of students from British Feathers School further emphasises the importance of a global perspective. In the geography class, students from various parts of the world broaden their horizons, fostering cross-cultural communication and understanding.


The eighth-grade geography unit centres around "Regional Disparities" with a specific focus on China's geography. Teachers guide students in exploring the four major regions of China and the natural environment and cultural differences among various regions, aiming to help them understand the reasons behind these disparities. Through teacher-student interaction, group collaboration, and discussions, students gain in-depth knowledge about the characteristics and developmental dynamics of different regions in China. The section on "Hong Kong and Macau," which is more relevant to daily life, provides students with ample opportunities to showcase themselves and share their personal experiences while explaining the knowledge.


In these geography classes, students demonstrate high levels of participation, and the classroom atmosphere is relaxed and lively. Various teaching methods, such as group discussions, role-playing, and practical activities, stimulate students' interest in learning and enhance their thinking abilities. Such classroom experiences not only help them acquire knowledge but also cultivate interdisciplinary thinking, problem-solving skills, and teamwork abilities.


The teaching objective of the geography curriculum is to cultivate students' global perspectives and regional awareness, making them responsible and socially conscious global citizens. Rooted in China and with a global outlook, we look forward to FCG students making positive contributions to the future development of society.
