Welcome Year 9 Geographers!
We've got lots of exciting topics ahead this year.
We wish you every success!
9.5 Homework Due Wednesday 09/10
Find an example of a volcanic eruption and a fact about it. The website I directed you to isn't working so I have removed the link. Instead, write the name and fact on a piece of paper and bring it to next lesson.
Have a good weekend,
Miss Richmond

Impossible Places Assessment
Level Descriptors
Trafford Centre Project - 9.2
Due Thursday 24/01/13
You should use the following as a guide to your write up.
1. Introduction
- Background information on the Trafford Centre/’Out of town’ shopping centres. When was it built, costs, impacts etc?
- Background information on shopping (e.g. comparison/convenience shops), fashion and globalisation.
- What were the AIMS of the trip? What did we go to find out? (See ‘aims of the trip’ in booklet)
- Was there anything you personally wanted to find out/expectations from the trip?
2. Methodology
- This is where you talk through the activities we completed on the day.
- List the activities (1-6) and give a description of what we did.
- How do these activities help us to achieve our AIMS?
- What did you do to make sure the results will be reliable? (e.g. pedestrian count we all started at the same time, and counted for the same length of time)
3. Data Presentation & Interpretation
- This is where you talk about your results and put them into graphs/maps etc.
- You should choose at least two of the activities we completed that you are going to talk about. For example, one may be the pedestrian count where we are looking for the busiest areas and what shops may be attracting people into the area. You may choose to present your data on a choropleth map, where you use colour to represent data. Your teacher will explain more about this.
- What are your conclusions?
4. Evaluation
- How did you think the trip went in achieving our AIMS?
- Were there any activities that didn’t go well? How could they be improved?
- Were there any activities that went well and were useful?
- Are there any activities you would like to have added to the fieldwork?
You should make sure that you present your work well and clearly. Quality of information is crucial. Do not ‘waffle’, try to be clear and concise.
It is important that you are aware of how you can gain the best grade possible for your work. Your work will be levelled and graded for effort. The following is the criteria we will use for each level.
Level 3- A piece of work covering the main themes of the piece. You have outlined the basic issues around Shopping, Fashion and Globalisation and you have described how it affects people in different ways. You are briefly described activities completed. There is some evidence of your own research and work done on the trip. You have concluded your findings.
Level 4 - A good piece of work covering all of the main themes of the piece. You have outlined the issues surrounding Shopping, Fashion and Globalisation, and you have described and explained how it affects people in different ways. You have outlined the activities completed on the day. There is evidence of your own research with at least one graph/table included. You have concluded your findings.
Level 5 - A thorough piece of work covering all of the criteria. You have identified the many issues surrounding Shopping, Fashion and Globalisation, and you have described and explained how it affects people in different ways. You have given appropriate background information on the Trafford Centre. You have clearly outlined the aims of the trip. You have clearly explained the activities (methods) used on the day which explains how they will help you achieve your aims. Evidence of good research, appropriate graphs & tables included. Data is explained clearly. You have concluded and justified your findings.
Level 6 - As with level 5, and all statements/suggestions/research are backed up by your own research & interpretation. You have not merely described, but and statements have been fully explained and backed up. Evidence of comprehensive research and thorough knowledge of the work you completed which is evident in your write up. You have evaluated the fieldwork suggesting weaknesses and improvements that could be made. The work flows well and follows the guidelines given. It is understandable to the reader. A very strong piece of work at a very high standard.
Level 7- As with level 6, but you have shown an exceptional standard of work beyond what is required. Strong evidence of full understanding. A solid evaluation of the work along with clear suggestions for further research. A piece of work to be extremely proud of.
Level 8 - Outstanding, covering all of the above.

Here is some information and diagrams as part of our first topic, "Earthquakes and Volcanoes".
Why do the Plates Move?
• Plates on our planet’s surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth’s core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
• It moves in a pattern called a convection currents that form when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.
• As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.
