 * 5F Prep Tuesday 28 February**

Here is a very interesting article on containerisation.

http://www.palgrave-journals.com/mel/journal/v10/n1/full/9100196a.html

//If this does not load properly, here is a PDF of the article. //

NB: It is quite long and it uses difficult language! Don't try to read it all. Do read the abstract (summary) at the start, read __**some**__ of the text under headings inside, and read the conclusion. It is a good example of using tight writing to communicate. It uses specific words with specific meanings and conveys information efficiently using subject specific language. You will be able to understand it if you think about it a little!

On this document put down interesting container facts you have gleaned from the article i.e. write down the facts in and around the picture of the container. Glue the sheet into your book. Use a little colour just to make it stand out! If I drew the container, you could spend 1 minute shading part of it!

 * Here is a tutorial I have put together to help to teach you how to write effectively.**



[|Andrew Lee Geographical Hawaii Volcano Article.pdf”.pdf]
 * Here is the article I wrote for Geographical Magazine**

Today we watched a couple of short video programmes about tectonic events in New Zealand. We also talked about preparing for exams by knowing "stuff about stuff." As a break from essay writing, I would like you to produce a detailed case study of tectonic events in New Zealand. I don't want to be too prescriptive about this, but you can choose the earthquake in Christchurch or the eruption and lahar of Mt Ruapehu or any other recent, significant events.
 * 5F Geography Prep Tuesday 8 November 2011**

You could look here to start with, though you will want to visit other websites too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquakes_of_New_Zealand and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanism_in_New_Zealand

Remember that to prepare for your exam you need some good case studies. You can choose a number of events for this piece of work or just one, in great detail. You choose!

Make sure that for each event you can: - Explain exactly where the place is. - The date of the event (month an year) - The time of the event - What caused the event - What damage was caused by the event - What preparation there had been for such an event - How the event was managed with regard to primary and secondary effects - Draw a map that explains the principles behind what happened and/or what happened afterwards

You can do this prep on your computer. Print the work out and hand it in. If your printer is broken please email it to your Ma or Pa, and ask them to print it out in their office etc, as possible. Do the prep tonight, it is due on Friday. If you want to get an A in geography (and you are all capable of doing this) then you will want to do this thoroughly!

Essay Question:
 * 5F Geography Prep Tuesday 1 November 2011**

//The impact of an earthquake or a volcanic eruption is mainly determined by whether or not the event is in an MEDC or an LEDC. Discuss using examples.//

There will be a ten minute ten question requiz for boys who scored less than 15 in the quick quiz. This will be at the start of the lesson on Friday. This will be based on the same requirements as the last quick quiz.

Essay 2 Humans are responsible for deaths during earthquakes, not the earth. Discuss with reference to specific examples.
 * Geography Prep Tuesday 4 October 2011**

//Clue: This essay is about humans being responsible for deaths because they live in earthquake zones. If humans did not live near earthquake zones then there would be no deaths ... or would there? Is it easy to say that people should not live near earthquake zones, why do they live there after all? Use your textbook, the internet, and the case studies on thinkingeography.com to help you. Remember diagrams, maps and tables!, Pattern and Process. Good luck.//

Answer in your books, due on Friday.

We were talking today about liquefaction. Have a look at this: http://tinyurl.com/geoliquefaction

Essay 1 There are four kinds of plate boundaries but by far the most dangerous to human life is the destructive (subduction) plate boundary. Do you agree? Discuss using examples.
 * Geography Prep Tuesday 27 September 2011**

//Clue: You don't have to agree with the statement, as you might reasonably feel that the conservative plate boundary is the most dangerous.// Use the help sheet in thinkingeography.com to help you. Use the I Say, I Say, Essay, sheet as a checklist. How many aspects of an essay can you cover? You can use information from your textbook, or research from the internet. Give references to where you found your information. Good luck. Any problems? Email me. Due on Friday, but do it tonight. Answer in your Geography book. Handwritten please.

Draw 2D versions of the 4 plate boundary maps in your text book. Personalise these diagrams so that they include specific location elements from the examples that are cited in the textbook.
 * Geography Prep Tuesday 20 September 2011**

Make sure each diagram is neatly and fully labelled and clearly drawn.

I will mark your last two preps together, when I collect your books on Friday.


 * Geography Prep Tuesday 6 September 2011**

Cover your book with maps, pictures, and then sticky plastic. In class I said this was not mandatory, but I think it is a good discipline, so you can do this over the next couple of weeks (but best done sooner rather than later!).

Your prep, is below. Prep is always due next lesson unless indicated otherwise.

There are many different versions of diagrams showing the structure of the earth.

Here are three. Put the information from all three into one diagram trying to not make it too cluttered. Some of the diagrams have slightly differing measures, the distances are just approximate and vary throughout the planet.





Under the diagram, write this:

The structure of the Earth is layered. These layers can be defined by either their compositional (chemical) or their mechanical properties. The Earth has a solid crust, a highly viscous mantle, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle and a solid inner core.

Scientific understanding of Earth's internal structure is based on: - observations of the landscape, - observations of rock outcrops, - samples brought to the surface from greater depths by volcanic activity, - analysis of the seismic waves that pass through the Earth, - and measurements of the gravity field of the Earth.
