Geographies of Hope: Thinking Clearly About the World

Written by
Daryl Sinclair

Too often we hold students back from ambitious texts in KS3 because we underestimate them or lack the scaffolding to support success. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™ve contributed to Myatt & Coโ€™s KS3: The Ambitious Years. The free booklets below offer a full sixโ€‘lesson sequence for Grade 7 students exploring Factfulness, built around the driving question: How does the critical use of data help us form realistic, hopeful ideas about the future? Students analyse images, maps, graphs, and video, building toward extended writing โ€” and maybe even finishing the book. A companion teacher guide unpacks the pedagogy and common misconceptions so youโ€™re supported throughout.

This was a central question that Michael Neumann and I addressed during our #ISLECISLoft session on March 3rd 2026. Moving from standalone international day celebrations and black history months, to scaffolded learning embedded in the school curriculum is the goal. Though exposure is valuable, too often schools stop at that, neglecting the steps needed that can shift understanding and shape day-to-day actions.
