Know Your Learner
• Get into a group of 3/4 people you do not know well
• Using the 2 pieces of string, make the North and South Island
• Write on the post-its 3 places that have special meaning to you.
• Place these post-its either in or outside NZ• Share why this place is important to you to
others in the group• See if there are any links between these places
and others in the group.

Part 1: Teaching As Inquiry
In groups discuss:
•What do I understand by this term?•How do I use it in my teaching?
•This is NOT inquiry based learning.
•It is based on the Teacher and how they approach their teaching.
![Page 8: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It is likely to be student centered as:
• Best Evidence synthesis (BES) says that the best practice in Social Sciences is based on:
• Alignment (student outcomes)• Connection (relevant)• Community (relationships)• Interest (variety and experience)
![Page 9: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Setting Your Goals (group discussion)• What does a successful geography classroom look like?
• What is it you want to achieve?
• These are our outcomes
![Page 13: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
– Programme Design
• What do my students need to learn?
• - The AO’s should be your starting point
• - Assessment should be the end not the start
• - Decide what you think is important for a student to cover in a course of geography
![Page 14: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Course should include the following:
•Physical geography•Cultural geography•Applied Geography (People/environment interactions)•Skills•Case Studies at a local / national/ overseas and global scale.•Current Geographic Issues
![Page 15: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
An Easy way to do this is a term of each:
• Term 1: Physical Geography (ENE, Skills, global )
• Term 2: Cultural Geography (Pop, Skills )
• Term 3: Applied Geography (sustainable environments, Current issues)
![Page 16: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Alternatively can break it up according to scale:
• Term 1: My local community (Research, Current Issue, Skills)
• Term 2: My Country (Pop, Skills, sustainability)
• Term 3: Further Horizons (Global based on ENE)
![Page 17: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How Effective is your course?
![Page 18: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Use this to see the gaps
![Page 19: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Once this is established then bring in other considerations.
![Page 21: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Teaching Inquiry – what do I need to know and do?
![Page 22: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Past Data:
• Get to know your students in terms of interests
• Use data available – NCEA results, e asTTle, Reports
• Keep updating data – no of credits, how doing in other subjects.
• Know who to target when doing activities• Design activities to be inclusive for less able students.
![Page 23: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Remember:
• It is the student you want to understand not the effectiveness of a course
• If your numbers are low then comparing to national averages is irrelevant
• You need to understand what it is that hinders their learning.
• It is also important to understand the entry point of students so you can see any difference.
![Page 25: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Activities to inform prior knowledge
• Brainstorm• Pre-tests
![Page 26: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example of a Pre-test:
![Page 27: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Activities to inform prior knowledge
• Brainstorms• Pre-tests• Know-All (what we know, think we know, don’t know)• True / False
Try the activity for Level 3 on Waves. Sort into True or False
![Page 28: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Answers:
• TRUE: 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 12
• FALSE: 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, 14
• Does anyone use any other effective techniques?

The success of Teaching and Learning is based on literacy?
• IN GROUPS• What do you understand literacy to be?• How do you try to promote this in geography?
![Page 31: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Literacy is the written and oral language people use in their everyday life and work. It includes reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Skills in this area are essential for good communication, active participation, critical thinking and problem solving.
• Geoliteracy is the ability to use geographic understanding and geographic reasoning to make decisions
![Page 32: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
This has become a new catch phrase as:
• ALL except (1.4 and 1.8) AS are now literacy standards. We therefore must take responsibility to teach them.
• Numeracy and Literacy NZQA
![Page 33: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Providing The core information
• Use of film or documentary• A You Tube clip• Use of a power point• Use of visuals – maps / photos/ diagrams• Teacher instruction• Use of a text-book• Use of a newspaper article • Use of internet• Use of manipulatives• Games
![Page 35: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Students learn best in different ways
• V isual• A ural• R eading and writing• K inesthetic
• You must therefore do a variety of activities that matches these. Try a combination.
![Page 36: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Visual:
• Show a You tube clip or power point as an introduction that can be followed up by discussion.
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFZz6ICzpjI
• Use photographs to extract characteristics
![Page 37: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Visual:
Question dice
•1. What•2. Where•3. Who•4. Why •5. When•6. How
•Differentiate from basic to higher level.
![Page 38: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Aural:
• Complete a dictated diagram
• Teacher reads a passage• Students draw what they hear• After teacher finished student goes back and adds captions to pictures.
• For example what are the effects of an ENE on people?
![Page 40: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Aural:
• Do a running dictation
• Words on the wall – groups have to find the answer and tell the others who write it down. (great to introduce terms)
![Page 41: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Reading
• What strategies have you tried?
• Highlighting key words or phrases• Skim and scan• Reciprocal Reading strategies• Paragloss (write down key terms only)
![Page 42: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Writing
• For getting notes down scaffold this from:
• Completing a close• Giving the first few words and getting students to complete the sentence
• Providing the key ideas and getting them to put these together
• Providing a graphic organiser or writing frame
![Page 43: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Many Activities require students to engage with text:
Match the task in your pack
to the appropriate activity
![Page 45: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Manipulatives:
• Dominoes – put cards in order
• Matching terms
• Flow charts – put a process in order
![Page 46: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Try to combine several of these:
• For example if teaching the processes causing an ENE to occur:
• 1. Show a DVD clip and get students to identify key words
• 2. Using the key words see if they can explain how the ENE was formed in a group discussion.
• 3. Using cards put the processes into order• 4. Draw diagrams to go with these stages• 5. Underneath write sentences that explain what
the diagrams show.

Consolidation means:
• Ensure understanding of core information
• Expanding on that core and going beyond. A chance to put information together and make links. This is where most ‘thinking’ happens.
• Many of the games used are explained in your pack
![Page 49: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

From this you can differentiate activities:Students generally learn best in the following order:
•Doing / Action / Kinesthetic•Speaking and Listening / Aural•Watching /Drawing / Visual•Reading and Writing
Scaffold towards this
![Page 51: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Doing / Action

Assessment of Understanding
• While we do not teach just for assessment this is an important part of the programme.
• This is done mainly through writing so it is essential that this is taught well.

Writing: What is needed?
• Need to unpack standards:
• Subject specific words• Instruction words
• Use a highlighter to show each of these in the AS provided.

For the subject specific words:
• Get them to keep a glossary of terms and concepts to use. You can choose 3 per lesson to concentrate on.
• Keep applying key concepts to any section of work
• Learn about 10 facts for each case study as specifics
• Highlight the terminology and concepts and specifics in an answer

Can you explain why it’s like that?
![Page 70: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Suggest how the piece of chocolate cake could be made better
• Didn’t rush cake making process• Used electric beaters• Had the right sized cake tin
• Added decorations
![Page 71: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Justify how this would make the piece of chocolate cake better...

DESCRIBE
In countries such as Malawi there are many signs of a lack of development. This has the characteristics of have large families, little opportunity for education and a low life expectancy.
DESCRIBE IN DETAIL
In a less developed country like Tanzania education is not very good. This is seen by facts like only 43% of the children attending school, few education resources and a large teacher: student ratio.
EXPLAIN
In a country like Malawi they have high infant mortality (large number of babies dying in their first year). This occurs because the people do not have sufficient money to pay for adequate health care or suitable housing.
EXPLAIN IN DETAIL
In regions like Dar Es Salaam 93% of children are educated. A reason for this is more education opportunities and better facilities. As a result this leads to them getting good jobs to aid development.
JUSTIFY
I have chosen the HDI model as the best indicator of development because this is based on a combination of social and economic factors rather than basing it on only one idea of development.
EXPLAIN COMPREHENSIVELY
In urban areas such as Dar Es Salaam literacy rates are much higher than in rural areas like Kigoma. Here there are few opportunities to become literate due to 30% children not able to go to school. As a consequence they lack the skills necessary to promote future development.
EVALUATION
The most important factor that will reduce the differences in development is education. If children gain the necessary skills they are able to earn higher wages that would then lead to an increase in living standards
![Page 74: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Next get them to identify the connector words and highlight them:

Do a list of connector words:
• DESCRIBE: This has the characteristics of, this looks like ….
• EXPLAIN : because, as, this is the result of ..
• EVALUATE: this is most important because…, this is better than this because…this has the most influence because….
• JUSTIFY: I think that ….., in my opinion this is ….
• Make students use these and identify in answers.

Teach The Essay Skills
• It is important they see a good answer
• Sequencing – which comes first? (try the exercise provided)
• Answers: 4, 10, 3, 11, 5, 8, 7, 9, 6, 1, 2
![Page 79: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
• Scaffolding – you provide the plan and intro
• Group Activity – do a plan together and then divide the tasks
• Writing Frames• Work on Google Docs and come up with examples they peer mark
![Page 80: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)

Now Put it all together:
• Teach the students what is expected by markers in assessment.
• Look in your pack for the exemplar.
![Page 82: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Read the question:
• Read it twice and ask ‘what does it ask you to do?”
• Highlight the key words here.
• Fully explain the pattern created by EACH characteristic from (a) on your large natural environment. Support each answer with detailed evidence.
• Now put it in words you can understand.
![Page 83: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
• Name a pattern (occurs here but is different there)
• Give reasons for the pattern (because, due to etc)
• Give depth to your answer and use geographic terminology and concepts
• Name specific places /statistics / names /dates of your environment throughout the answer.
![Page 84: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Now we will highlight these 4 requirements.
• Choose 4 colours (highlighters best)
• 1. Identifies pattern• 2. Uses connector words for reasons• 3. Uses geographic terminology and concepts• 4. Uses specific names and/or statistics or dates.
• Read the answer first for a ‘gut feeling’.

LANDFORMS
Different area of SICH have different range of landforms. Western High country have steep slopes with V shaped valleys (valleys carved by rivers) and lots of scree due to it being the zone of deposition (sediment from Southern Alps) and a high amount of erosion due to high rainfall of 4000mm. The Southern Alps have high horn peaks such as Mt Cook, arêtes, cirques ie the armchair and glaciers such as the Fox and Tasman glacier. The weathered peaks are due to the Alps being a zone of erosion to being exposed and because of brittle rock such as schist and greywacke. The area has also been greatly affected by glacier action. The Eastern high country has a range of landforms such as intermontane basin ie McKenzie Basin and rocky bluffs. The area has gentler slopes and U shaped valleys with rivers. This is due to past glacier action which creates the valleys and river erosion which continues today. The fiordland area contains U shaped valleys and steep slopes as well as other glacial features due to past glacier action and the resistant gneiss and schist of the area.

Because this student fulfilled all 4
• This gained Excellence
![Page 95: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Next use the same approach for the other 2 examples
• Sample 2: • Uses specifics but not throughout• Uses some geographic terminology but basic and not explained
• Reason given is not appropriate• No pattern is mentioned. Only one small area discussed
• Is a Not Achieved
![Page 96: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
Sample 3:
• Good use of specific information• Uses geographic terminology but not explained
• Is only one reason provided• Pattern is inferred – these occur here as it is coldest so does not occur there.
• Is an Achieved
![Page 97: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
A good activity to answer questions well:
• 1. Download the 4 exemplars on TKI at N,A,M and E.
• 2. Cut off the question in each case.
• 3. Put students into groups with the 12 samples and question paper.
• 4. They have to first sort out which question is being answered and then which level each question is and why.
• 5. Get students to write their own example afterwards.
![Page 98: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Afternoon Session
• Issues• Concepts• L3 alignment
![Page 99: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Latest Issues:
• Wording of some standards does not match L1 to 2 to 3. eg contemporary Issue and ‘assess’. We must be ready for review.
• L3 Exemplars are based on the first draft of standard not the final ie do not have to critically evaluate.
• Issues comparing Geography and History have been accepted by NZQA and are being ‘investigated’.
• Issues concerning number of credits in geography L3 for UE also being looked at.
![Page 100: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Part 3: Geographic concepts
• What is a concept? Discuss this in groups
• The big ideas in geography you want students to take away with them.
![Page 101: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
What different type of concepts are there?
• Key concepts: Are 7 of these that come out of the AO’s for Geography. These are:
• Process, pattern, interaction, environment, perspectives, change and sustainability.
![Page 102: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
At the next level are:
• Important Geographic Concepts: these include the big ideas not in the AO’s. They can include the old IGI’s as well as the Maori concepts.
• Location, distance, accessibility, culture, system, globalisation + 18 Maori terms in the glossary.
![Page 103: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Beneath this lies the concepts you cover through a specific unit of work:
• Extreme Natural Events: Subduction, rehabiitation, mitigation.
• Population: Density, migration, distribution• Large Natural Environment: Denudation, Zonation• Differences in Development: Development
• In many cases these are specific examples of the Key concepts such as a process or pattern.
![Page 104: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Teaching The Key Concepts
• These are an important part of your geography programme anyway.
• Complete the exercise matching the aspect of standards to a concept.
![Page 105: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
How to teach them
• First differentiate between definition, identification and application.
![Page 106: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
To Define:
• Show a power point
• Do matching cards (play pairs)
![Page 107: CREATING THE SUCCESSFUL GEOGRAPHY CLASSROOM Jane Evans Geography Facilitator 2013 Team Solutions](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/5681358e550346895d9cfb54/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
To identify and apply:
• Watch a movie / movie trailer or You tube Clip and get students to identify the key concepts in it and then write about them.
• Look at photographs or cartoons and identify concepts and write about them
• Look at articles and identify concepts and write about them.
