Notice of Assessment • Date Due: • Weighting: 15% • Marking Criteria: Students will be assessed on their ability to: • Interpret and analyse data collected in the field • Apply and communicate geographic knowledge using a variety of techniques (maps, tables, graphs etc.) • Present a logical and well-structured argument.

  3. Notice of Assessment • Length: 1500 words • But not including: Tables Annotations Captions Graphs Maps Boxes Appendices • Outcomes to be assessed: P1 Differentiates between spatial and ecological dimensions in the study of Geography P2 Describes the interactions between the four components which define the biophysical environment

  4. Notice of Assessment • Outcomes to be assessed (cont): P3 Explains how a specific environment functions in terms of the biophysical environment. P8 Selects, organises and analyses relevant geographical information from a variety of sources P9 Uses graphs and maps, statistics, photographs and fieldwork to conduct geographical inquiries

  5. Suggested Structure • Part 1: The Aims, objectives and location of the fieldwork. • Part 2: An investigation into human impacts on the Bantry Bay area using fieldwork techniques: purpose, method, result. • Part 3: Implications for the future/management options

  7. How to get top marks

  8. Helpful websites • www.npws.gov.au satellite/aerial photos • www.bom.gov.au climate stats • www.warringah.nsw.gov.au management plans • www.abs.gov.au stats on the demographics of the area • www.whereis.com.au street maps • http://iplan.australis.net.au/landview.php for satellite images • http://www.maps.nsw.gov.au/six_viewer.html for historical satellite overlay images. Put in the nearest suburb Killarney Heights.

  9. Report Structure • Use headings, sub headings, dot points and tables/graphs/photos. • All tables/graphs/photos MUST be annotated and they should be included in the section of the report that is directly being answered.

  10. Report Structure • Title page – must have your name on it.

  11. Report Structure • Table of contents

  12. Report Structure • Objectives – you get these from the assignment handout and from the excursion sheets

  13. Report Structure • Location – need a site map (large scale) of the immediate Bantry Bay area and a situation map (small scale) of where Bantry Bay is in relation to NSW Australia

  14. Report Structure • Area Desciption – must include the following: lat/longitude coordinates • Description of where it is in relation to the CBD, ie direction from CBD, kilometres from the CBD and area size in km squared • Description must directly refer to the site map

  15. Report Structure • Use a clear overhead sheet transparency on top of one of the photocopied maps of Bantry Bay that I have provided for you. This will demonstrate where the 2 testing creeks (polluted and unpolluted) were, human landuse areas and parks/reserves

  16. Report Structure • Provide a climate description which must include temperature range and rainfall patterns for the year

  17. Report Structure • Provide a clear description of the weather experienced on the day of excursion.

  18. Report Structure • Divide the report into the 4 separate spheres • Each sphere MUST be defined • Use the sub heading Investigation into Human impact on the Lithosphere for each sphere • Within each sphere deal with the tests that fit within these spheres

  19. Report Structure • Each fieldwork test should have the same report structure: • Aim • Method • Result • A photo, table and /or graph should appear for each test.

  20. Report Structure • Then for the next section use the sub heading Implications for the Future/Management Options

  21. Report Structure • Provide a relevant conclusion

  22. Report Structure • Include a detailed bibliography

  23. The Photos • H:\TeacherTASKS\Geography\Year11\Bantry Bay\photos 07 • H:\TeacherTASKS\Geography\Year11\Bantry Bay\2006 photos\2006 • H:\TeacherTASKS\Geography\Year11\Bantry Bay\web

  24. Photo Task • Working with your partner, pick out the 5 most useful photos for your report and be prepared to share with the class the reason why you chose each. • Don’t forget photo sketches as well!

  25. Other ICT sources • With your partner, make a list of other potential sources of information/ photos etc available on the internet. Be prepared to explain why you have chosen them.

  26. GOOD LUCK • I’m prepared to review and provide broad comments on drafts of any part of your report. • Don’t be afraid to use other people as well (parents, friends etc) • Don’t forget the Learning Support Centre (Mrs Rhodes on Wednesday)
