Label the arrows to show . . . . . What they are pointing at What this says about the QOL of this area (number 1s are done for you) 1.

How do I structure my background information? L/O: To recognise good background information and explain your evidence fully Starter: You have begun this already! Which QOL factors did you search for on Triana and Tomares. NOTE: Do not make the mistake of just assuming that Tomares has a better QOL beacause it is further out of the city! ADD SITE – Search by area - very useful site

CA Suggested Structure Introduction Hypothesis Definition of QOL Land Models Method (Table) How you will investigate this Data Collection Collecting data to investigate Results Graphs and description of graphs  Conclusion Are hypotheses correct? Which area has a better QOL?   Evaluation How could you improve? Limitations of our data Background Info Research on the two areas

How to write a good background (Point/Evidence/Explain) Point: Say what this paragraph is all about e.g. culture e.g. Both Triana and Tomares have a variety of local churches Evidence: Give a “quote” and ref from a web site. One in Triana and one in Tomares. e.g. One of Triana’s churches is San Ana Church in Barrio Leon. This is a quote from their website. “We know that people have many needs, and for this reason we have activities and programmes that are aimed at a wide cross-section of people: Children, Youth, Pensioners and those in-between.” http://www.lewishamadventist.org.uk/pages/about-us Explanation: Explain how this would affect local people’s QOL. e.g. This would improve the people of Triana’s quality of life as the church offers a place to pray and to interact with others of all ages Then do the same for a Tomares Church. . . . .

First Task - Recognising good and poor background research Your Task You will look at 2 examples of background research from a previous CW (in UK) on Peckham and Farningham Most contain some good parts but . . . . . . . . . . Each has made a classic GCSE student mistake Can you spot the mistakes?

Background research of Peckham and Farningham History of both areas This is information on Farningham’s History. “The village of Farningham originates from Saxon times. A Saxon cemetery was partially excavated near Charton Manor in the 1930s. Three Roman villas and three Roman farmsteads are known to have existed within the Parish of Farningham.” http://www.sevenoaks.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/84217/Farningham-CAA.pdf This is information on Peckham’s History. “'Peckham' is a Saxon place name meaning the village of the River Peck, a small stream that ran through the district until it was enclosed in 1823. Archaeological evidence indicates earlier Roman occupation in the area, although the name of this settlement is lost.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peckham What’s good about this What are the mistakes? NO EXPLAINATION

Some ideas of useful websites http://www.salir.com/ (socialising - then search Triana or Tomares) http://www.tomares.es/node/672 (environmental) http://sevillaciudad.sevilla.abc.es/triana/economia-negocios-triana/ (economy Triana) http://sevilla.abc.es/20110511/sevilla/sevi-arenas-tomares-como-faro-201105112148.html (politics Tomares)

To save time . . . . We will build up a bank of web sites that we can all use. Once you find some, please add it to this PPT! Then it can be seen by all – BUT DO NOT KEEP IT OPEN OR NO ONE ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS IT!
