Y13 - FOR TOMORROW

Learn this model - AT LEAST THE SUBHEADINGS and 1 or 2 of the topics. Reference it - (Blaikie et al, 1994)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PAR_model.pdf



Then, learn all the main facts for our case studies.

• Plate tectonic cause
• year
• magnitude (Richter & VEI)
• social cost (no. dead)
• economic cost
• environmental cost (eg. 2 million trees [Mt St Helens])

Tohuku 2011, Japan,
Nevado Del Ruiz 1985, Colombia
Eyaffajokul 2010, Iceland
Pinatubo, 1991, Philippines
Haiti, 2010
Mt St Helens, 1980, USA
Italy 2015/16
Indian Ocean Tsunami, 2004

Memorise the names of sources - at least 5.
Memorise the names of websites & organisations - eg. "Corruption Perception Index, Transparency International - NGO".

Learn the VEIs of Pinatubo, Nevado Del Ruiz, and Eyafajjallokul

Y12 - Globalisation - half term work

The half term work comes in two parts:

1. To complete the work we began on 'switched off' and 'switched on' places around the world, answer this question. Write a detailed paragraph (half a side) with 2 examples for each of the four factors.

"Analyse the physical, political, economic, and environmental reasons why some locations are 'switched off' from globalisation".

 To reach the higher levels, remember to pick holes in your own points. So, just after having mentioned Nepal and how it's landlocked, you then do a big "however" and mention Switzerland, and try to explain why, in this case, being landlocked is not a problem.

Use the KOF map of globalisation to find some examples.

2. Download the PDF file from this link Global Shift PDF

a) define the global shift
b) identify the causes/what has enabled it to happen
c) mindmap the impacts on China and India

Y12 - measuring globalisation

Read p.162-163. Mindmap the ways the KOF index and the A T Kearney Index measure globalisation.

Which is a better measure? Explain your decision.

Next, use this KOF map to mindmap/create a table showing the physical, environmental, political, economic factors that explain 'switched on' and 'switched off' places around the world. Use examples!

Eg: (under 'physical') Nepal - mountainous - lack of internet infrastructure; landlocked - no ports for access to trade routes.

Y13 - Thursday 6th April

For today's lesson we aim to complete a Unit 2 mock (the paper I gave you yesterday). The aim is to complete this paper in the double lesson - remember that the real exam gives you just 1 hr 15 min.

We need to aim for speed and accuracy in our writing, hence why we are using the essay plans we created overnight.

When you have finished these, please leave them on my desk. 

Best of luck
