Wideworld

Wideworld gives students the opportunity to:

  • Master key concepts and topics at GCSE beyond what
    textbooks offer
  • Stretch and challenge through topical, relevant and
    thought-provoking articles
  • Achieve the top grades and develop key skills through Wideworld’s extensive stimulus material

Each 24-page issue of Wideworld explores key topics in the current GCSE specifications through specially commissioned articles. Each article:

  • features up-to-date case study material on core topics central to GCSE geography specifications
  • encourages students to apply their understanding of GCSE geography so they can approach topics confidently

Regular columns develop students’ skills. These include:

  • Global ecosystems – illustrating key characteristics
  • Focus on… – a topical case study linked to the major world ecosystem
  • Improve your grade – advice on exam technique and preparation
  • Fieldwork focus – practical ideas and techniques for coursework
  • Aerial view – analysing geographical features from the air
  • WideWorldWeb – looking at the importance of the internet in learning about geography

Wideworld is published four times a year in September, November, February and April. Subscription rates for the new volume have been frozen, so for just £8.95 students will receive all four full colour issues, plus a copy of the Philip Allan Updates GCSE Geography Essential Word Dictionary (normally worth £6.99) free with the November issue.
