Y13 - For Friday - different conceptions of superpower 'power'

Y13, please make sure you have read the article in my previous post about ecosystems and Brexit.

For Friday 14th October, please do the following:

Power is expressed in four main ways by a superpower:

Military power
Economic power
Cultural Power
Geographical power

Read the first paragraph of p.100 (on the forms of power). For the following superpowers, mindmap how their power has been expressed in these ways. Some will be easier than others.

United States
USSR
British Empire
EU
China

Eg: "United States - Geographic power - surrounded by the main two oceans, enabling it to trade with Asia and Europe"

or, "USSR - cultural power - promoted communism in the Eastern bloc countries as a better alternative to capitalism"

Y12 - Coastal processes project - Holderness

Y12, I look forward to seeing your videos showing coastal erosion.

For today's lesson, you are to start working on a project that examines coastal erosion on the Holderness Coastline on the North-East Coast.

There is a wealth of information out there as it's a popular case study of coastal erosion, so you have to selective about what information to use.

Task: create a powerpoint of 10 slides that outlines

• Location (1 slide)
• Geology (1 slide)
• causes of coastal erosion (2 slides)
• Management of the area (2 slides)
• Players involved and their roles (2 slides)
• conflicts and the future (2 slides)

Each slide can have no more than 10 words on it - you are to present to the class using supporting notes. Good luck. Any issues please email me over the half term o.robbins@haaf.org.uk 

The post-Brexit world - order from strength scenario & ecosystems

Please, please read this article carefully. It cuts right to the core of what we discussed on Friday. Is post-Brexit Britain going to herald a new dawn of ecosystem protection or ecosystem destruction?

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/oct/08/walking-into-the-unknown-rural-england-weighs-up-the-reality-of-brexit

We'll discuss on Wednesday

Millenium Ecosystem Assessment

Use p.97 to prepare your pitch for one of the two scenarios:

1. Global orchestration
2. Order from strength

In your pitch, you have to persuade the world that your scenario is best for the human well-being and ecosystem well-being. Include a powerpoint with an important summary (not lots of text)

You must:

• critique the other approaches
• defend your approach using LOTS of contemporary examples

Due Wednesday

Y12 project

Set today: using every single one of the keywords on the sheet, create a short film using plasticine models that shows how erosion changes coastal landscapes

Due for next Thursday.
Good luck

Please watch this and make sure you understand EVERY SINGLE WORD OF IT!!!
