Homework for Week 5:

Learning Intention:

….to be able to describe patterns on maps

Patterns

What does the Achievement Standard say about describing patterns?

Achievement Criteria

• Describe the pattern(s) of the global geographic topic.

• Describe the pattern(s) of the global geographic topic.

• Describe the pattern(s) of the global geographic topic.

Achievement with Excellence

Achievement with MeritAchievement

Look at section 3 of the AS, entitled “Terms” - this defines what is meant by the words used in the Achievement Criteria.

- So what does DESCRIBE mean for this AS?

We need to be able to describe the pattern.

• Describe means identify and outline.

Outline – Where/when is this this pattern occurring? And not occurring?

What is the relationship?

Identify –What kind of pattern is it?

Need to know more info

1. Patterns occur for reasons.

3. We need to be able to recognise the relationships between different features on a map.

5. When describing patterns we are making generalisations.

Relationships & Patterns

Identifying pattern(s)Population Density of India

What is the map showing us? • read the title

What is the pattern(s)? • peripheral

Population Density of India

Outlining the pattern(s)

What does outlining mean?

What questions do we need to ask?

Eg. •Where is the flat land?• What are the physical features of the land (rivers, flat land, mountains)• where are the ports and cities (where the boats come in and out)?

So what other information do we need?

Relief Features affecting population

River delta – triangular formation

Would you live here or here?

Ganges River DeltaGanges River Flood Plain

Mountain Ranges

Indian CoastlineThink about what is located in cities along coastlines that would give people jobs

Where would you live?

Thar Desert

Population Density of India

Need to look at all the information together…

Describing the pattern of India’s population

There is a concentration of India’s population along the Ganges River and at the Ganges River delta, where as, India’s population is sparsely populated in areas where there are no rivers.

India’s population is also concentrated around the coast, where as, India’s population is sparsely populated in inland areas.

Can you think of another one?

Relationships & PatternsComplete these sentences…

• In areas of high or steep relief there tend to be more/less roads.

• Settlements tend to occur in areas where there is steep/flat relief.

• Port developments occurs in areas where the water channel is shallow/deep.

• Native forests are more common in areas where the relief is steep/flat.

What words are being used instead of concentrated / sparse?

1.Reflection – have you achieved today’s Learning Intention?

6.One question I still have about today’s lesson is…
