The Year 12 Geography classes have been studying the different fluvial landforms that are created by the processes of erosion and deposition. The class was divided up to investigate a specific landform and to create a guide to inform their peers how the landform was created.
Year 7 - i-spy River Landforms.
The Year 7s have been focusing on what a process is and how we need to understand a process to have knowledge of change. To do this the students have learnt about four specific river landforms and how they are formed. For the students to show their knowledge of a process they completed an i-spy guide to river landforms.
Year 8 - Climate Change
The Year 8s have been investigating the importance of climate change. They have learnt about the causes and the potential impacts. They have also explored how climate change may impact their lives when they are 65 by investigating the possibilities of change in the future. Below are examples of in-class essays the students wrote on climate change.
Year 7 - Obituary
The students in Year 7 have been investigating the concept of time and change. To do this they explored a specific character that they felt was of importance from the country that they were either born in or hold a passport for. The students focused on the date and place of birth and death, why the person was influential and justified why that person interested them. Examples can be found below:
Year 8 - Winds that Impact Geneva
The students in Year 8 have been looking at the different aspects that make up our daily weather conditions. They have already investigated temperature, clouds and precipitation and now the focus has been on wind. The students explored how wind occurs, what makes them powerful and how where they come from can have a dramatic impact on us. The class produced individual posters on a specific wind that occurs over the city of Geneva. On the information poster they were asked to explain how the wind occurs, what weather that wind brings to the area and therefore how it impacts us. Examples of student work can be found below:
Year 8 - Factor Which Impact Temperature
The Year 8s have been investigating why it is warmer in certain areas around the world than others. To do this the class was divided into small teams and were asked to investigate a specific causes. They then feedback their new knowledge back to their peers via a Google Slide presentation. Examples of the slides and photographs of the students presenting can be found below:
Year 9 - Worst Hazards?
The Year 9s have been investigating different types of human-induced and natural hazards in their first rotation of Individuals and Societies. The topic has fostered a lot of discussion and the students were asked to decide in their opinion what disaster could potentially be seen as the ‘worst’. To formalise this the students wrote a short persuasive piece to outline their key arguments and illustrate their thoughts by using key events. Examples of student work are below:
