 * Geography Prep 4 November 2016**

Draw a timeline showing the four times we looked at in class.

When life appeared on earth

When the dinosaurs appeared

When the dinosaurs died out

When human beings appeared

If you dont have your book draw it on paper. Illustrate your work.

You need to search for the years on the internet and reconstruct the diagram or one much like it. So you'll need a little maths and a little thinking about it. Good luck.


 * Geography Lesson 10 October 2016**

In the lesson make detailed notes on the last two case studies from your exercise books. You might want to make your notes like a spider diagram. The object of the lesson is to make notes that will be excellent tools for you to revise from. Think carefully about how you think and how you revise and how you can make the notes so that they help you remember well the material. Make them 'good to revise from.' This is your challenge for the lesson.


 * Geography Lesson 7 October 2016**

Test as provided by Trini. Papers to be given to teacher to give back to Trini at end of lesson.

Prep: Read through the last two case studies Rio de Janeiro and Queen Elizabeth Park.


 * Geography Cover Lesson 3 October 2016**

We have largely covered the topic on Population and Settlement. This lesson you should revise the chapter and all the case studies (some of which we have not yet looked over), for a unit test, next lesson. Make sure you revise the diagrams.


 * Geography Prep Friday 30 September 2016**

There are multiple parts to this prep. See below.

1. We were talking about war as a factor that enourages people to migrate. This video shows some of the destruction in Syria. It makes it clear what people have had to live through and why they might be driven to leave.

media type="youtube" key="mt3gR4BUPmQ" width="560" height="315"

2. We were discussing Ecological Footprint. This is the amount of energy each person / family uses. Look at the following webpage and see how much energy will have been used to make/cook the products that are being consumed each week.

http://time.com/8515/what-the-world-eats-hungry-planet/

3. Cover your geography books. The first layer is a map. Use a tourist map, or a map from your last holiday travels. Do not use any old family heirloom maps! Check with your parents first. The next layer are the photos you collected. Put your name very clearly on the top right hand side of the cover of the book and cover with plastic.

3. Then draw in your books a kind of infographic/graphic explanation of the following:

population distribution population density immigration emigraion push factors pull factors ecological footprint sustainable lifestyle site situation nucleated dispersed linear

Here is the kind of thing you should make (I have put only some of the terms on it!):




 * 5R Geography Prep Friday 16 September 2016**

Collect some maps and photographs that you can use to cover your geography book. This term's work is in Population and Settlement (cities, population, rural areas), Volcanoes and Earthquakes (Volcanoes around the world, eruptions, damage from earthquakes etc); Economic Activities (Factories, any kind of industry including farming, education, shopping etc) and Rivers and Coasts (this is self explanatory I think). Gather and print photographs and maps and have them ready. I will issue your exercise books that have only just arrived, next lesson. Good luck.

 * Geography Prep Friday 13 May 2016**

In your books put the heading processes of coastal erosion: Caves, Arches, Stacks and Stumps

Draw the following two diagrams neatly (draw in pencil, label in ink, colour in pencil)



DO NOT MISS THIS BIT...

Then search in Google for three examples of this kind of landscape, so search for "Coastal Stack UK" etc. Find one in the UK, one in a LIC (Low Income country) and one from anywhere else in the world. Cut and glue these images into your book carefully labelling where they are. Location and country.


 * Geography Prep Friday 6 May 2016**

We have covered the following concepts in class. Draw the following diagrams in your books. I know that some of you feel that drawing diagrams can be difficult. Practice is then important! I have included a guide I wrote to drawing neat diagrams. It is on my thinkingeography.com website. The link is at the bottom (The different kinds of river erosion can be found here). Draw the diagrams of the 4 kinds of river erosion into your books.

a) Use a ruler to draw a box and for arrows b) Draw in pencil c) Label in ink d) Lightly colour in using coloured PENCILS e) DO NOT USE HIGHLIGHTER PENS

Plan to spend 6 minutes on each diagram. If you muck it up, then start again. Teach yourself to draw them well, but quickly, as if you were doing them in an exam!

We have finished this term's work on Transport and Industry. We have also written notes and had a test on the case studies in the chapter and I have talked to you/shown you how to take notes on cards and in your books. Most forgetting happens after you have finished a topic, and the best way to remember is by regular and constant review. I have provided you with some index cards for prep this evening (although you can use your own if you have them). I would like you to spend 35 minutes working on index revision cards for the case studies in the Volcanoes and Earthquakes chapter that we did last term. I wil want to see what you have done in our next lesson. These will not be marked as they are part of your revision, but I will want to see you have done 35 minutes' worth of work.

ALSO: After doing the case study this morning on tourism, you might find this interesting. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/advice/map-reveals-where-british-travellers-are-going-this-year/


 * Geography Prep Friday 4 March 2016**

This is a particularly interesting prep, I hope. It is designed to make you think. There's a lot of change happening at the moment in business. IT is becoming more and more used to buy things, we buy things via the internet and smart devices. Goods are shipped around the world and this is getting faster and faster and cheaper and cheaper. Asia is becoming wealthier, and Europe's economy is stagnating a little. There a global changes in the Middle East, and people's travel habits are chaging. Transport is getting faster and cheaper (both people transport and goods transport). Electronic devices are becoming more and more connected to the internet, and are even now ordering things for us when they run out. (Printers for example can order printer cartridges when they're getting low).

What is the future going to look like? What will shopping be like, what will transport look like, what will goods be like. This is not a free-for-all prep where you just design things for the future, you have to think about how the world economy and technology is changing and then predict what things are likely to come out of these changes.

In your books I want you to draw an infographic showing trends in changes and IMPORTANTLY what is driving these changes. (The marks for this prep come from your ability to connect what is happening to what you're planning). Show this really clearly.

Here is an example of an infographic (this one is about the future of space travel) (it is not what your prep is about - it is provided as a visual example only).



Here is an interesting article which perhaps gives you some insight into commercial change.

 * Geography Prep Friday 26 February 2016**

This term we have been looking at Transport and Industry. You need to know about the case studies that are in your book. For Prep, I would like you to make notes on the first 4 case studies.

This looks like a lot of work, but if you work quickly it will not take longer than your allocated time period. You have 4 case studies to summarise and 40 minutes' prep. This is 10 minutes per case study. (I have also done the first one for you below).

Here is an example of what you should do using the first one as a starter:

-Planned high speed rail route between London and Birmingham for 2026. -Will be supplemented later -Railway network needs expanding because of congestion -The number of rail passengers is growing and new lines will be needed -HS2 will: take pressure off existing network, reduce journey times, bring jobs and regeneration - HS1 was opned in 2009 from Londont to Kent and Europe -Controversy: Might damage land, will scar landscape, homes to be demolished, reserves and woodland to be damaged, noise will cause problems. - FOR: Carbon neutral, create thousands of jobs, will increase rail passenger numbers - AGAINST: Will increase carbon emissions, will create only London jobs, we already have fast trains
 * Case Study: High Speed 2 - A planned rail route in the UK.**

This took me about 5 minutes!

You can type the work because it is fast and efficient. Print, trim and glue neatly into your book. You can write it if you prefer.

There will be a quiz on these case studies next week.

In your books WRITE (don't type) this in your own words, making sure to not leave anything out.


 * Primary Industry and Globalisation: Thai Fishing**

It is not only in secondary industry that globalisation leads to people being exploited. Because of the pressure for profits in LICs (Low Income Countries) there is often corruption and "cut corners". People who buy the goods in HICs (High Income Countries) often have no idea how the things they buy are made or acquired. Thai shrimp farming, for example, uses trapped immigrants (the Rohingya people) from Burma/Myanmar to farm shrimp. These people are inhumanely treated. Companies throughout the world buy these goods and support these practices, including British supermarkets. These goods also find their way into other products that are very widely consumed. There are many goods in the world that are created in unacceptable conditions. We buy these goods and support their manufacture unwaware of how they were made.

 * Geography Prep Friday 29 January 2016**

In class we discussed how the higher the order of industry ie Primary (1) to Secondary (2) to Tertiary (3) to Quaternary (4), the higher the income (greater the money) this kind of industry creates. This means that a developed or developing country would ideally like to have a large % of its industry in 'higher order' industry. As a country develops, primary industry once it has generated enough money for a country leads to the growth of manufacturing (secondary) industry. Then a country starts to develop tertiary and quaternary industry because these sectors will generate even greater income.

Look at the diagram on page 122 in your book. (If you don't have your book I have attached the graph below).

What you have to do: Put the heading the Clark Fisher Model into your book. Then carefully draw the graph (don't print it). Then over the graph (with arrows and writing) explain using the information above how and why the % of each sector of the economy changes over time. (The x axis is time, they y axis is % of industry represented by each sector). Or in other word explain the process that occurs.

I am at dinner this evening so I won't be able to answer any emails. Good luck.

Last week you did a geography test on Chapter 1. Although I had said there would be a test few boys had prepared for it. I will therefore give you another test with this prep set as a revision prep. The test will be different! I have already made the test, and it is a little bit harder. Make sure you revise all the terms including those that are explained in diagrams and drawings in the chapter. The test is on the entire contents of Chapter 1. Good luck.


 * Geography Prep 23 October 2015**

There is no geography prep this Friday, however, if you did not get the previous prep done because of confusion, you do need to get it done. Also there will be a unit test on Tectonics on Monday after half term.


 * Geography Prep 16 October 2015**

Please note that there IS geography prep this weekend!

In your books make a one page summary of the two case studies on volcanoes (half a page each). Each summary needs one map and one diagram. So in total, this is one page of work ONLY.

You will need to revise these case studies at some stage so make them clear and concise and good to revise from in the future. You can use bullet points but make sure the meaning of what you write is clear.

//You should all have a textbook. I have asked boys to collect textbooks from me who did not have one and you were asked to keep last year's textbook over the holidays from last year!//


 * Geography Prep 9 October 2015**

Read and learn the earthquake case studies in your textbook very carefully and prepare for a quick quiz.

These may be found on pages 12-19 in your textbook.

If for some reason you have left your textbook at school, here is a scan of the pages. (I won't do this again!)

 * Geography Prep 18 September 2015**

For prep I want you to combine parts of three diagrams into one. Follow the instructions carefully.

Put the Heading **__1. Plate Boundary: Destructive Plate Boundary (Subduction)__**

Copy the following diagram as a **two dimensional diagram 2-D** (it's simpler). Also add the term magma chamber where the magma sits beneath the volcano. **Use coloured pencils. Draw in lead pencil, colour in pencil, label in ink.**

This is a great diagram, but it's missing a few things. I want you to **add some features of the following diagrams** into your diagram. (See below).

t

Take the __convection current arrows__ from this diagram and add them to your diagram when you draw it. Look at this diagram but don't add anything else from it to your main diagram.



The diagram below nicely shows where the pressure builds up and where there is friction between the plates. Just add this part of the diagram to your main diagram and label them stick-slip zone and put in the wavy lines.



Make sure your diagram is clear and neat. Don't rush it! This is due tomorrow.


 * Geography Prep 11 September 2015**

Write the following in your book:

//Tectonics is the study of volcanoes and earthquakes. Geographers are interested in tectonics as a force that shapes the world and as a force that leads to natural hazards.//

Put the timeline we looked at in class into your books. Just draw one timeline and put all 4 time points on it. (Draw it do not print it!)









Explain what the points mean and write down why this may have surprised you.

 * (1) Read this:**

Choose a river you might be interested in. It might be one in the UK or one abroad. It should be at least reasonably well known so you can find it in Wikipedia. Try to find a map on Google Image search that shows you the course of the river.
 * (2) River.**

Like this example from the Georges River in Sydney.



Go to the Wikipedia page and see if you can find the coordinates for the source of the river. Here is an example for the Georges River in Sydney.



Switch to Earth/Satellite view. (Not street view) Zoom into the source and see if you can find where the river goes. Switch between Map and Earth/Satellite view to help you
 * Click on the coordinates (blue) and it will take you to Google Maps.**

If it's too tiny and hard to work out where the river runs, type the name of the river into the search bar in Google Maps and see if you can trace its course from source (start) to mouth (end).

If you get really stuck, you might try another 'easier' river.

(Use Google Earth which is a little better if you have it - you can download it free.)

Make a note in your book showing what you see as you follow the river like the example below. You get the information from Google Maps or Google Earth and you write a list out of what you see showing some points along the river.


 * THE MAIN THING IS TO FOLLOW THE RIVER SEEING HOW IT CHANGES. DO THE BEST YOU CAN! YOU WILL GET BETTER AT GOOGLE MAPS AND SEE THE RIVER! MAKE NOTES. FOLLOW IT TO THE RIVER'S MOUTH.**


 * YOU CAN DO THIS ON THE COMPUTER LIKE I STARTED BELOW!**

Something like this:




 * PRINT, CUT AND GLUE INTO YOUR BOOKS. PREP'S NOT OVER UNTIL THIS IS DONE!**


 * Geography Prep Friday 17th April 2015**

Read through the whole prep first carefully.

Then write:

Put a heading in your book Geomorphology.

Weathering is the process whereby rocks are weakened and disintegrate due to exposure to the elements. Weathering may be physical, chemical or biological.

Erosion is the process by which rocks are worn away by the action of moving water, wind or ice.

Then write the heading Weathering and the SubHeading Physical Weathering and the SubSubHeading __Freeze Thaw Weathering (sometimes known as Frost Shattering)__

Copy the notes on the following webpage into your exercise book.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/rock_landscapes/processes_rev1.shtml


 * __Do not copy their diagram__.** **Copy this one instead.**



When it gives an example add "The Lake District."

 * Lent Term 2015**


 * Friday 6 February 2015**

Each country has what is called an employment profile. This is the % that work in primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. The more developed a country is, normally, the more the % of tertiary, and to some extent secondary industry is represented. Poorer countries have often mainly primary industry.

The World Bank uses the % of people working in agriculture as an indicator of how developed a country is.

Look at the list of countries here: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.AGR.EMPL.ZS

Make **FOUR** pie charts each showing the percentage of people working in agriculture. Choose

a) A very wealthy developed country b) A newly industrialising country BRIC eg Brazil, Russia, India, China c) A reasonably poor country d) An extremely poor country

Label them according to this list and the name of the country.

You can build these lists on Excel or Numbers, and create a pie chart therein. Otherwise you can draw the pie charts ready to go into your books.

Choose the most up to date information from the World Bank site. Let's say you decide that Albania is a reasonably poor country. If you look on the list, the last year they have data for is 2010 when 42% of people worked in agriculture. That's a lot! Build a pie chart. How do you do that? Well ... Open Numbers or Excel. If 42 % of the population are in agriculture that means that 58% are not. So put this data into a table: Agricultural 42, then on the next line Non Agricultural 58. Then build your pie chart. Do that for the other countries and the job's done. Make sure you list the country in the graph and you might also say where the data came from.

Watch the documentary. On a sheet of paper write down succinct notes about where the factory is, what they make and the conditions of the work.

Look at the following videos about factories.
 * Geography Prep Friday 16 January 2015**

For each one answer the following questions. You might need to do a little background information to answer them. You can probably do some of this whilst you are watching the video.

(Don't worry if you don't get it finished - but do the best you can)

1) What is the name of the factory/company? 2) Where is the factory? Google it if you have to. 3) What is the product? OUTPUT 4) What seems to be the materials that they might need to make the product? If it's not clear from the video use your common sense from what you have seen they're making. INPUT 5) What processes go on in the factory? PROCESS 5) Draw a simple map showing where the factory is in the world. I have put a world map below.

 * Geography Prep Friday 9** **January 2015**

This term's work is on Industry and Transport. This is an important part of geography because it plays a massive role in what the world is like and there are patterns of development that help us to understand what is happening globally and regionally.

Write the following in your book under the heading **Industry: The Economy**.

The economy consists of the production, trade, and consumption of goods and services by individuals, businesses, organisations, or governments.

Make a list of twenty different jobs on a piece of paper or cardboard and cut them up neatly so that they make a kind of 'pack of cards.' Put them in an envelope and glue the envelope into your book. This is ready for use in school.

Talk your parents for 10 minutes about the jobs that they have done, including the jobs they might have done when they were very young, or at university. Find out what was good about these jobs and what was not good about them. If your parents aren't available, then ask another adult. Even give your grandparents a call! Make a table of the jobs they have done using the following:

(This is one job I had when I was at university!)

Read the following:
 * **Name of job** || **What they had to do in this job** || **What was good about it** || **What was bad about it** ||
 * Usher || I had to show people to their seats at the cinema and when the movie was on we had to count the tickets and tidy the foyer || It was a fun place to work, the people were nice, and you got to see a lot of films for free. || The managers were sometimes grumpy. There was a lot of time standing. Sometimes the patrons were not very nice. ||



Make sure you revise the material listed below, especially the global locations.

You have exams coming up and we are just finishing the topic on earthquakes and volcanoes. For prep I want you to work on the case studies. This is part of your exams so it is also exam revision. In the textbook there are 4 case studies. On a word processing document, I want you to type up any additional notes that come up in the 4 videos below. **Type them under the following headings and then bring them into school ready to glue into your book. Learn them in preparation for your exams too!**

LEDC Earthquake: Haiti media type="youtube" key="B5dG6vyFWFo" width="420" height="315"

MEDC Earthquake: Honshu, Japan (90 seconds) Follow link: [] Watch video and read text

LEDC Volcano: Merapi, Indonesia media type="youtube" key="tyT1YEiqBAg" width="560" height="315" Here you need to make notes about the **preparations** for eruption. (2 minutes)

MEDC Volcano: Eyjafjallajokull media type="youtube" key="MlH7pCK4H-s" width="560" height="315" This is a long documentary, but it is very interesting. Watch some of it, or fast forward through it and see if you can get some idea of the kind of risk facing us from the Icelandic volcanoes. This is not just about Eyjafjallajokull but also other volcanoes along the constructive plate. Watch parts that you think might be useful, it is not all entirely useful.

Look at the four tectonics case studies in your book. We have already looked at two in class. Think about how you could build a table that compares the size and nature of these events. You will have to choose for yourself what categories you would want to use. You might also need to Google the events to get all the information. You might also include in one category a very quick sketch map showing where in the world they are.

You might treat the volcanoes and earthquakes separately or you might find a way to assess them using the same or similar categories. Good luck. Any problems send me an email.

Build the table in your exercise book.

Extension: If you want, try to explain why the data is as it is for example explain why the casualties were very high or very low etc.

This geography prep involves watching a documentary about Supervolcanoes. As it is a weekend prep, you can try to get as many people in your family to watch the programme and you can talk about it afterwards. I want you to be able to come in to your lesson next week ready to disucss the super volcanoes being aware of the science, the location and the situation. If you like you can do some Googling about the super volcano. There has also been some recent press activity. Look up Super Volcano in Google and choose the NEWS option. Come to the next lesson fully INFORMED!

Please make sure you know your lines for the play on Sunday. You need to be at school at at 8.45am at the latest. It would be useful if some boys were here close to 8.30am, so that there is not a scramble for costumes. Parents who have booked a place in the parent coach will leave promptly from school at 9.30am as will the boys' coach.

Prep: Carefully read through pages 82-87 and be ready to explain to the class the processes on the page. If the diagrams lead you to questions you cannot answer, bring these questions to the lesson.

Today we walked through the centre of London.

Print out a map from Google Maps or Apple Maps and trace the approximate route we took today. It needs to reach to Sherborne Lane in the west, the Tower of London in the east, Leadenhall Market in the north. Use the script which is available on the FLOREAT LONDINIUM page on this website (see the side bar) to find the locations and the directions.

Work out the approximate distance from the Thames we are at our closest and at our furthest, along the route.

(Well done today too!)

Have a talk to your parents or an adult and find out which rivers you have visited. Make a list of them, and make a note of what you may have noticed when you were there. This might include: waterfalls, meanders, floodplains etc. If you have any photographs include them if you can or find some from the internet. Look the places up on a map and know the river's name and its location. Talk to your parent/adult about the things they noticed about the river/s too. Write up this material in your exercise book.

Also make sure you know your lines for the play. No excuses.


 * Geography Prep Friday 14 March 2014**

This week we looked at the Nike Factory in Sukabumi in Indonesia as a CASE STUDY of an economic activity in an LEDC. This is also really case study of an MNC (Multinational Corporation). Do some background reading about NIKE.

Do some research about NIKE to deepen your understanding their global company.

You might look up Nike on Wikipedia. You might look at this: [] [] Try Googling Nike Sweatshops or putting this into the YouTube browser. Try Googling this: Nike Sweatshops: Behind the Swoosh. Look at the Nike website to see if they have responded to concerns about their manufacturing in LEDCs. See Nikeinc.com as well as Nike.com. Nike have a website telling customers what they are doing to be responsible. What happens when you click on "Nike Better World"?
 * //(You need to remember that this is quite political and you need to be very careful what is information and which is hearsay and what might be exactly true or not exactly true).//**

Write a paragraph or two summarising what you have found out. Try to get balanced information. What is Nike actually doing? Are they behaving reputably or not? What conditions are their products made under.

Also answer briefly: What Nike products do you have. Do they say where they are made? How do you feel about buying Nike? Would studying them actually affect what you might buy? Should it?


 * As ever, surf the internet carefully.**


 * Geography Prep Friday 7 March 2014**

Carefully read your Economic Activities Textbook, up to and including page 24. Be ready to answer a short quiz on the textbook up to this page.


 * Geography Prep Friday 28 February 2014**

Look at page 10 of your textbook. Today we looked at the way countries move through stages of development.

We talked about how countries moved along the following graph as they developed.

Look at the graph below from your textbook.



There are three zones, Preindustrial, Industrial and Post Industrial (on the x axis). We discussed these today in class.

In which of these three zones do you think the following countries might be placed. Give a brief explanation of why you think they might belong to the zone in which you have put them.

1. UK 2. Cambodia 3. India 4. China 5. Australia 6. USA 7. Brazil 8. India

You can answer this on your computer and print the information out ready to be glued into your book next week.

 * The Road to Industrialisation**

This is the USSR example of rapid industrialisation and the reasons they were keen to industrialise. This was part of the process of economic growth and development.

Watch this:

The reasons why Russia built industry was very different to that of the UK, USA, Australia etc. When industrialisation happens quickly it can cause many problems as has been seen in this video. Industrialisation changes lives and changes patterns of wealth in the world and this is why it is of interest to geographers.

In your book write down some of the differences between industrial growth between Russia and the cases we looked at in the USA (Charlie Chaplin) and in France, in class. We have now looked at 3 short films which have given some insight into industry and the fears about industry growth.


 * Geography Prep Friday 24 January 2014**

Last week you made a fact sheet on a particular primary economic activity. This time find an example of a secondary industry. Some kind of factory in the UK. See if you can find out:

why it might be located where it is when it was established how many things it produces its location (include a map) what things it needs to make what it makes (what are inputs to the factory) such as steel, energy, rubber, electrical components etc

Try to find something interesting that is British, something like the Dualit toaster factory or the Roberts Radio factory or Barbour or John Deere (tractors) etc. You may include some photographs from the internet.

Make it fit on one A4 sheet, so that it could be put on the wall. Try to bring it in uncrumpled.

Below is not for prep but for interest (just for now).

 * Geography Prep Friday 17 January 2014**

Today we looked at Primary Industry. This includes industries in FARMING, FISHING, MINING and FORESTRY.

See if you can find out about one particular Primary Industry activity, this means one farm, one fishing interest, one mining interest or one forestry interest in the UK.

Using the computer create a one page fact file including the location of the activity, what it does, and where the raw materials go to to be used or processed. Include maps and photographs.


 * Geography Prep Friday 10 January 2013 **

This term we are studying economic activities. Geography includes this topic because much of human experience involves money and business. The economy affects us in many ways and what happens economically often happens in patterns that can be shown on maps. The economy also has an impact on the quality of people's lives, in the UK and globally. Geography is about understanding how the world works and if we are going to do that we have to know things about the economy.

Your parents have had working lives. Talk to them for 30 minutes, or a Nanny etc if your parents are not available, about the nature of their working lives. What jobs they have had, what work they have enjoyed the most, what they would prefer to have done, what they are glad they did not do etc? If your parents work in a commercial way, i.e. for a bank or company, find out where the company is based, who set it up, where it was set up, how it has grown etc. Find out why it set up where it did and why it moved and grew, if it has. You could also talk to them about how the economy has changed over their lifetimes.

Tell your parent's about this term's work and that I am very keen for them to talk to you about issues as they arise in class.

Come to the next lesson ready to tell the class a little about what you found out. Make some notes if you like, but this prep is more about the conversation and less about the notes!

Good luck.

In class we read about the Kashmir earthquake in our textbooks. In the lesson today you watched the first 30 minutes of the video below. Watch the remainder of the video and answer the questions below.

WARNING: After about 30 minutes (total running time) some of the footage is a bit gruesome. Fast forward through this bit if you are squeamish.

As you watch, write a list of factors that made the impact of the earthquake worse. Then, draw a diagram that shows these factors and how they made the impact of the earthquake worse. Note that the earthquake affected Balakot which we read about in our textbooks and Islamabad which is featured in the film.


 * Watch the following video:**

Today in class we reviewed the 4 types of plate boundary 1) Constructive 2) Destructive - Collision 3) Destructive - Subduction 4) Conservative (These can be found in your textbook). For prep I want you to make 4 flash cards that have on one side a diagram of the plate boundary and on the other side the name of the plate boundary and the location of an example. These cards will be useful revision tools. The diagrams should be clear and neat, but they should be done relatively quickly. Remember how we did them in class. You are building a revision tool!

 * Half Term**

In honour of Ludo's birthday and because many did not do so well in the class quiz on tectonics, I thought we'd have a kind of humorous prep tonight. Val helped me write a song with some of the tectonics you need to know! You need to learn it for prep!
 * 5W **
 * Prep Friday 11 October. **

The song is sung to the basic tune of the first verse of the geography song. The geography song can be found below (it is a little out of date).

DON'T LEARN THIS SONG - LEARN THE ALTERNATIVE WORDS TO THE TUNE BELOW!

Here are the words. I'm afraid it's doggerel (bad verse).


 * Learn this as best you can in half an hour.**

Volcanoes and Earthquakes are found on the planet At plate boundaries they’re really quite frequent Destructive ones such as the ones in New Zealand Krakatoa, Japan and Peru

Collision zones such as the one in Nepal Where the Himalayas are found Are slamming together and rising up tall And earthquakes often abound

Conservative zones like the British Prime Minister Neither create or destroy too much crust Instead they cause havoc and damage to buildings And cause great big bridges to bust

Constructive plate boundaries build brand new land In places you wouldn’t expect Like Iceland and Surtsey and in the great Horn of Africa Where Ethiopia’s coming adrift.

There’s magma and lava and igneous rock Which is plastic until it’s ejected When through a volcano it’s shot out quite quickly And then it’s rather neglected

The plates move around on a great pool of magma That’s really rather quite hot It flows through convection And shifts the plates, slowly, but really rather a lot.

Good luck. PS I know this is a rather unusual prep!

Please cover your geography books. You need to cover the book with a map, such as a double page map from an old road map book. If you don't have a map, then you can download and print some and make a patchwork of maps, or see if, on the weekend you can get a large map from a tourist facility, it could be a bus map for example.

Secondly add the name sticker I gave you.

Then cover the book with plastic.

This way all books should have some consistency.

Good luck. If you're really stuck for a map, then I should have some next week, and you can cover your book then.

Have a good weekend. Dr Lee : )

We have been talking about/planning our expedition next term to the Lake District National Park. In order to best prepare for this expedition it would be useful for you to look at the Lake District National Park website.
 * Geography Prep Friday 10 May 2013**

I would like you to write a review of this website, from the point of view of someone who is trying to find out about what the national park offers and other important facts about the national park. Your review should include how you have found the website as a site that provides this information.

[]

You need to assess it using 5 10 mark categories. YOU NEED TO WRITE ABOUT EACH CATEGORY **AND** GIVE IT A MARK OUT OF 10.

1. How well does the website provide useful information quickly to someone new to the national park? 2. How good are the maps that are included in the website to help you (as a potential tourist) get a feel for the place? 3. How clearly it explains what things there are to do in the national park? 4. How good is the news about what has been happening lately? 5. What interesting technology is being used on the site eg webcams? Do they work, are they useful etc. 6. How up to date is the information and can you tell? (do pages show dates that they were last updated) 7. How attractive is the site? Is it classy? Does it attract you? Is it fun to use? 8. Is there sufficient information? Too little might be bad, too much might also be bad? 9. Is the information readily understood by children? Is there a children's page etc? 10. How clearly does the website explain how the park is sustainable?

If you mark each of these out of 10, you will get a total out of 100. Make your score out of 100 clear on the front page of your review.

You can do this prep in a Word or Pages document. You can paste in screen shots of pages where they are appropriate (either good or bad), making sure you caption each image with an explanation of why it has been included.

Good luck.

If you were to ask 100 UK tourists in the Lake District some questions what answers do you THINK you might find for the following and why.

1. What percentage would be from London (and why do you think this might be the case). 2. What percentage would be from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland? (and why do you think this might be the case). 3. What proportion would be in the following age groups if only those over 18 were interviewed. 18-25; 26 - 35; 36-45; 46-55; 56-65; 65+ (and why do you think this might be the case). 4. What proportion would be there for mainly the following reasons: visiting the countryside, adventure travel (camping/climbing); boating; visiting villages/history; quiet recreation and fresh air. (and why do you think this might be the case). 5. What proportion made most of their journey from home by: Plane, Train, Bus, Car, Bicycle, Walking (and why do you think this might be the case).

Visit the thinkingeography.com page. Look at the section which can be found on the home page called geotunes. Where there is a PDF to download, download and read the PDF, and then listen to/watch the song/videoclip. You can also listen to/watch the video clips for which there are no PDFs.

Here's the link: [] //Unfortunately, for some reason the maps which I put next to them are not working.// //If you're using Firefox or Chrome you will have to click through to YouTube to watch the videos. One of them is not working unfortunately.//

Make a list of the songs you have listened to and next to each one write down what the main economic issues were considered/looked at/addressed in the song. Think about this in terms of geography and economic activities, the topic we are doing.

Can you think of any other music with economic themes. You can make a list in your book __**with the help of your parents**__.

In your books answer this question in bullet points:

1. What does the story have in common with Billy Elliot? (Make a list)

Talk to your parents about the jobs that they have had during their lives. What kind of work they did, what they thought of the work they did, where they worked, whether they liked what they were doing, whether they wanted to do the work they now do, and whether they would prefer to be doing some other kind of work for some reason. Ask them about the places they worked and why they think they were located where they were. There is no need to make any record of this discussion, but just come to class prepared to talk about your parents' experiences.
 * Prep for Friday 11 January 2012 **


 * Michaelmas Term**

Revise the global location topic that you were supposed to revise for the exams. Many boys scored poorly in this section of your test, and you need to know these locations. We will have a quiz sometime soon. If you didn't take home the right book, you can learn them from Mr Jephcote's notes that are on the 5th Form page (where the revision guide is).
 * Prep for Friday 30 November 2012**

 * Apologies for the late arrival of prep. I'm afraid I was at Eton at a conference today and at St Paul's this afternoon to conduct mock Oxbridge interviews. I was planning to set prep this afternoon from St Paul's but unfortunately I could not get an internet connection. If you can get this prep done on the weekend, that would be grand. If you were planning to do it Friday night and you have no time on the weekend, please see me Monday morning. **

Complete the work that you have been doing in class this week. (CE questions and Japan earthquake case study).

I will be away for some lessons next week. For Prep you need to revise the tectonics chapter in your textbook, so that you can answer some more CE questions next week. So, the prep is a revision prep for the tectonics topic.

Using the information in your textbook, write a paragraph on each case study and draw a diagram that explains what happened.

None set due to 5th Form Weekend Expedition.
 * Prep for Friday 5 October 2012**

Watch the following which review some of the concepts we have looked at in class. It's good to see more examples of animations, it helps you understand the concepts more.
 * Prep for Friday 28 September 2012**

Nothing to write prep!

Nice animation of conditions beneath the earth. Notice the convection currents. I'm a little disappointed that at the end they say that an eruption is made up of just gas. A big eruption may release a lot of lava too.

<span style="-webkit-transition: opacity !important; display: block;">[|360p MP4][|Flash] This video has lots of good footage and commentary.

Anak Krakatau in 2010. Exciting footage. (I wish I had seen that. Dr Lee ; )) Notice the lightning caused by the same kind of conditions, and nice fireworks at the end. <span style="-webkit-margin-after-collapse: collapse !important; -webkit-margin-before-collapse: collapse !important; bottom: auto !important; clear: none !important; display: block; float: none !important; height: 315px !important; left: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; position: relative !important; right: auto !important; top: auto !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: 560px !important; z-index: auto !important;"> <span style="display: block; opacity: 1 !important;">HTML5 HTML5

CHOOSE one of the 4 routes up or around Mt Etna. Come into class ready to discuss what you saw. Notice, vegetation, altitude, volcanic activity etc.
 * Take detailed notes ** about what you saw - these notes should be written in your books.

When you get back, look at this page and examine the VTRs. []

 * Prep for Friday 14 September due Monday 17 September**

Draw the first diagram below but add the information onto it from the other diagrams beneath it. Your diagram should look like the first one but with more information. Be careful to size it correctly on your page so the whole diagram does not look too squashed.

Doing some research write explanations of the terms that are in the diagram beneath. You can find many glossaries on the internet or look up the terms using Wikipedia. Write short, simple, definitions.
