Flash Movie

This excellent set of resources comes from James Porter a PGCE student at Bournville School in Birmingham.

The movis is a starter for a mystery lesson on coastal erosion at Happisburgh in Norfalk, year 10 pupils were asked to answer the question "Why is my house on the beach?", they had to look at different human influences on costal erosion and decide who, if anyone, was to blame out of God, Local or Central government, the construction industry for dredging off the coast or if it was simply bad luck.
