1. 1 Hi I am Lindy and we are here to do geography and history Not that good an impression, but close-ish)

2. 2 Our wiki http://geography-at- interhigh.wikispaces.com/http://geography-at- interhigh.wikispaces.com/ I will put copies of all the documents we use But there will be other things in the wiki too – links to quizzes and games – links to interesting stuff for you to look at. There is also a blog at http://lindym.wordpress.com/ http://lindym.wordpress.com/ Called Coach House Geography – it is where there are all interesting things that are happening right NOW

3. 3 What we will be doing The year will be divided up into 7 units and each year group will develop these unit more each time! Unit 1: Intro (very short): Introduction and maps. Unit 2: Environmental conditions: Weather, climate and ecosystems Unit 3: The Human Situation: Settlement, population and development Unit 4: Changing Earth: About what the earth is made of, volcanoes, earth quakes and how water sculpts the landscape Unit 5: Working World: About the jobs people do, International companies, aid and Fairtrade Unit 6: What are we doing to our World? The rain forests, climate change, energy sources Unit 7: Is it sustainable? A chance to look at the current news to see what is changing and what needs to change, linking to what has been leant over the year – maybe revise a little!

4. 4 So for the next 2 weeks, we will be looking at Unit 1 Unit 1: Lesson 1: What is geography? Unit 1: Lesson 2: Where in the world is…?

6. 6 What is Geography? In WORD type 3 things that you think Geography is about With your partner use the private text to share your ideas Decide which are the 3 best you have Head it –From X and Y: Our 3 ideas are …(you can paste from your private text your 3 best)

7. 7 Geography is the study of the Earth’s landscapes, peoples, places and environments. It is, quite simply, about the world in which we live.

8. 8 There are 3 Types of Geography

9. 9 PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY Imagine a world without humans. What would it be like? Think of as many things as you can. There would still be …….

10. 10 PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY A world without humans would still have life, it would still change shape, natural forces would still work, like...  Volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, floods  Rivers, oceans, glaciers  Soil, water, air  Plants, animals, vegetation

11. 11 A WORLD WITHOUT HUMANS

12. 12 HUMAN GEOGRAPHY Humans have an enormous effect on earth. What are our main activities? How many can you think of?

13. 13 HUMAN GEOGRAPHY Our main activities are:  Settlements and Building  Transport  Different types of work  Farming  Creating energy

14. 14 HUMAN ACTIVITIES

15. 15 ENVIRONMENTAL GEOGRAPHY Earth is a precious, delicate place – all activities have an effect on the environment in good ways and bad. How many can you think of for each?  Bad –  Good –

16. 16 Here are some ways in which humans affect the environment:  Bad – pollution of power stations, cars, household rubbish, chemicals in the ground and water, sewage into the sea, waste, intensive (crowded) farming, over hunting, poaching, global warming, more???  Good – conservation, animal welfare, walk, bike, recycling, reducing, re-using, more??? ENVIRONMENTAL GEOGRAPHY

18. 18 Now follow this link http://classtools.net/my/dustbin78792 types_of_geography.htmhttp://classtools.net/my/dustbin78792 types_of_geography.htm It is on the wiki if you want to look at it later

19. 19 How you use Geography You already use Geography without knowing it. Here are some headings:  Holidays  Getting dressed  Shopping  Think about physical geography, human geography and environmental geography How do you use Geography for these activities?

20. 20 In Geography we ask questions Where are the places? What are they like? Why is that happening? When did it/will it happen? Who is doing what? Who is being affected? How is that happening? And we try to answer them...

32. 32 Homework Qu1 Using copies of the pictures of Llandudno: How is Llandudno different to where you live? How is it the same? I started an example - it is on the HW sheet but you need to delete it before you start your answer. I live in a small town in the mountains of Wales. While Llandudno has sea on one side and land on the other, my town has hills all the way round, with a river running through the middle. Llandudno has hotels for the tourists. We have tourists too but not lots of hotels. There are Bed & breakfast houses and a camp site. Llandudno has a wide pedestrian road, while our streets are narrow and crowded with cars….. etc

Qu 3: You are given a map showing where and how electricity is produced by one company in the UK. You have to work out if there is a pattern for where they put the wind farms.

35. 35 How Homework is managed I will issue a homework notice after the lesson. It will say something like: You can find something like this: Y7GeU1A What is geography wk1L Or Y7GeU1A What is geography wk1M The instructions will say: The PowerPoint and homework can be found in the library and also in the wiki on http://geography-at- interhigh.wikispaces.com/Year+7+Unit+1 where there will be additional information that might be useful. http://geography-at- interhigh.wikispaces.com/Year+7+Unit+1
