004 - Review

You have now investigated how population can vary between different places but can you explain why and illustrate your ideas with clear examples and case studies?

Aims

The aim of this page is to help you to review the syllabus points that we have covered throughout this unit.
To be able to link the different elements of the course together through concept mapping.

Activity One - Review and Link

You have now completed the first section on 'Changing Population' and it is time to review what you have done. Mr. Allaway at www.geographyalltheway.com has developed a review sheet to help you remember what you have studied and to try and think more about the concept words that are used in relation to this unit.

Using a green pen tick off the sections of the syllabus that you remember learning about.
Using a red pen tick off the sections of the syllabus that you don't remember studying.
Highlight the concept this section primarily focuses on.
Mark on the syllabus the examples or case studies that you have studied.
Now try and fill in the other boxes starting with the geographic knowledge (what do you need to know) - this can be bullet-pointed. Then do the geographic understanding (ideas you need to comprehend or have the capacity to interpret).
How do all the concepts help you to understand this section of the syllabus? Fill in the four concept boxes explaining how they help you to link different ideas together.
Now write in the short answered and extended response questions that you could use to review this unit. Hint they are on the bottom of each webpage.
How does this unit link to the other units you have studied so far? This is the final box on the page.

Reviewing the Curriculum

Activity Two - Concept Mapping

We have looked at the idea of concept mapping before when we reviewed the course for your Freshwater and Extreme Environments tests. We will be doing this for each section of the course to get you to make explicit links between the syllabus points that you have studied.

Collect a sheet of flipchart paper and a set of coloured pens.
Remember to use one colour only for each set of words.
Write set one words in capital letters anywhere on your flipchart paper. Remember to not write them too big.
Now link the words if you can make a connection. Explain the connection on the line that you have drawn.
Now choose another colour and write the second set of words in capitals.
Connect that set of words and explain the connection.
Then cross-pollinate using both colours. Do any of the words from each set link? Explain the link.

Activity Three - Mymaps

It is absolutely essential that you include examples of place within your extended response questions and it is often good to mention areas even in the structured questions. To help to review the different areas we have studied we are going to use google my maps. You have done this before when we reviewed Freshwater. I would recommend you find that map and then add another 'layer' for Geographic Perspectives - Global Change.

Search for google my maps in your search engine.
Sign in using your school ecolint account.
Click on the red - create a new mind map - to get a new blank map.
Follow the instructions on the image below to get you started with pinning and filling the map with information about each area we have studied.
For each section of the course we will add a layer to this map.

Exam Style Question

Migration is primarily caused by the demand for economic activities. Discuss this statement in relation to examples that you have studied. [10 marks]
