The Landscape We Live In Assessment Using All The

The Landscape We Live In Assessment Using all the information you have been taught since September, answer the following in DETAIL!

Explain how the course of a river changes as you go from the source to the mouth and how this influences where people live A few hints • Your piece of work will need an introduction and an evaluation • You will need to explain the 3 courses of a river and what features are found in the courses • The more geography words you use in your writing, the higher the level you will receive! • Use the word bank • The easiest way to set out your work is in sections • Use labelled / annotated diagrams and pictures in your work about the features • Make sure you explain how each feature forms • Think about how the courses of a river have an impact on the amount of people living there and why Waterfalls Floodplain Drainage basin Gorge Flooding

Which level will you be aiming for? You all know what your target levels are for the end of Year 8 (or you should!). Use the following to help you establish which level you are aiming for, therefore how much detail you require for that level! Aim high, there’s nothing stopping you from Going Green and going beyond your target level now!! Level 3 • You start to describe briefly the 3 courses of a river • A small range of skills are used eg. A labelled photo, drawing • A couple of words are used from the word bank Level 4 • More detail is used in describing the 3 courses of a river and some features are explained better • More of a range of skills are used, with fewer errors than level 3 eg. A correctly labelled photo or diagram • At least 5 words are used from the word bank Level 5 • The 3 courses of a river are now described in detail and explanations are more detailed and accurate • Most features of the 3 courses are used and explanations attempted • A range of presentation of data is used eg. Correctly labelled photos, diagrams, maps • A good range of words are used from the word bank • Work is well organised and set out Level 6

•

The 3 courses of a river are now described in detail and explanations are accurate

•

All features of the 3 courses are used and explanations are given for their formation A wide range of vocabulary is used from the word bank

•

•

A range of skills are used without error eg. Annotated photos and sketches, annotated maps. Examples of the features may be used

•

Presentation is excellent and the work is well set out

Level 7 • Exceptional work • All descriptions and explanations are correct and in lots of detail • Conclusions are used and backed up with evidence • Evidence is analysed • Additional research is used and explained
