Welcome to LC Geography: Running the Applied Geography Project. This short course has six lessons of about 25 minutes. You know your geography; this course is about running the project with a whole fifth-year class for the first time, from the brief to the signed Authentication Form P.2.

In this first lesson you rate your confidence, see how the project runs and what its brief will settle, and study a class planner for an invented fifth-year class. Then you note what your class will do before the brief. Your survey, reflections and plan across the six lessons compile into a downloadable Professional Learning Portfolio when you finish.

Before the presentation, rate your confidence on the five areas this course develops. There are no right answers. You will rate the same five statements at the end of the course, so you can compare each rating with your first.

Watch this presentation on the Applied Geography Project: the two assessment components, the brief and what it will settle, the SEC's sample brief, the seven stages and their indicative times, and what your class can do before the brief.

Study this class planner, filled in for an invented fifth-year class from now, before the brief, through the seven stages. Read the notes on each choice.
