1 Geography Work program sample Geography 2007 Compiled by the August 2007 A work program is the school s plan of how the course will be delivered and assessed, based on the school s interpretation of the syllabus. The school s work program must meet syllabus requirements, and indicate that there will be sufficient scope and depth of student learning to reflect the general objectives and meet the exit criteria and standards. In this sample: Overview This demonstrates the school s understanding of the developmental nature of the course, the coverage of the four themes, at least one focus unit per semester and the scope and sequence of a two-year course of study. The course offers a global perspective, a range of scales and the opportunity for geographical inquiry. There is opportunity for flexibility, disciplinarity and diversity. Case studies are managed to give students a global perspective in terms of relationships and patterns in a theme Sample unit The sample unit demonstrates that the school can develop a course of study that provides depth of learning for the students through the way they adapt key questions and ideas to the school s context and resources. Learning experiences provide a guide to how the general objectives and the subject matter will be pursued Each unit is studied at a range of scales It should be used as a guide only to help teachers plan and develop the schools work program.

4 Outline of intended student learning (sample unit of work) 1. Unit rationale This unit introduces students to the geographical study of natural hazards. Natural hazards are relatively rare in most communities. However, their potential to cause immense damage and loss of life is substantial. The vulnerability of the Australian and Asia pacific environments to natural hazards means that it is important for geographers to understand their patterns of occurrence and causes and help plan the strategies for prevention mitigation recovery and reconstruction. The unit focuses on natural hazards (Tropical cyclones tsunamis and bushfires) that have a particular relevance to Australia. The geographical study of natural hazards is a multidisciplinary one. It draws on ideas from geomorphology, climatology, psychology, economics, sociology and engineering. Geography s special contribution to the study of natural hazards lies in its focus on the synthesis of ideas from the natural and social science to produce a comprehensive explanation of the causes and effects of natural hazards and detailed plans to minimise loss of life and damage to property.. This unit provides a focus for the study of a range of concepts and processes in physical geography and of the social processes that influenced human responses to the physical environment
5 2. Outline of sample unit Theme: Managing the Natural Environment Sample unit: Responding to Natural Hazards [This table breaks over several pages] Key questions Key ideas of the unit Suggested time/scale/context 6 10 Suggested learning experiences These learning experiences need to support the development of student s ability to acquire knowledge of the general objectives assessed in the unit What are natural hazards? Where do natural hazards occur? What is the pattern of natural hazard occurrence? (Tsunamis, Cyclones and Bushfires) Natural hazards are a potential source of harm or damage resulting from the forces of nature and occur where decision have been made to locate human activities in areas where extreme physical events also occur Overview of managing the natural environment with the specific application of responding to natural hazards (bushfires, tsunamis, cyclones) Media file on natural hazards around the world Mapping media file making links to processes from images, weather patterns, location, population/biome/property distribution for case studies (Southern USA, Northern Queensland, Greece, Australia, Indonesia) Interpreting thematic maps of population distribution, land use maps Examination of the climatology of the regions in the case studies Exposition on the concept of scale and geographical inquiry Analysing statistics and GIS data on hazards (damage, speed of onset etc) for patterns of occurrence. Correlation between weather patterns, vegetation patterns bushfires, analyse the spatial organization of people, places, and environments in tsunami, cyclone and bushfire zones tropical cyclones Define and describe hazard types and their location and the physical processes that cause them (photographic sources and maps)
6 What are the processes associated with natural hazards? How are the processes associated with natural hazards operating to cause change? Why do natural hazards occur? Extreme physical events are geographical processes which may be caused by geological processes inside the earth (e.g. earthquakes) or on the geomorphologic surface of the earth (e.g. landslides, bushfires), atmospheric and meteorological processes (e.g.), and biological processes (e.g. pandemics. pests), or the result of these and or some combination of these (e.g. floods). Geophysical processes and associated hazardous events may be described by indicators Regional: Tropical cyclones (North Queensland and Gulf States of the US) Tsunamis (Japan and Indonesia) National: Bushfires Australia/Greece Case studies cyclones Katrina, Dean, Larry, Monica Bushfires Australia, Greece Exposition on patterns and processes (cause and effects of tsunami, cyclones and bushfires) Town plans of New Orleans, Townsville, Cairns deconstruction of property loss Flow diagrams to illustrate the processes (geological, geomorphological, atmospheric, meteorological and biological ) of cyclones, tsunamis and bushfires Tracking the progress of an cyclone, tsunami, bushfires using models from the internet Examine topographical/satellite images maps to observe changes in the landscape due tsunamis, cyclones and bushfires Draw a hazard profile from statistical data to predict the severity of impacts (e.g. Cyclones, tsunamis and bushfires) What are the impacts of natural hazards considering the social, economic, political and physical contexts? How can the impacts of natural hazards be prioritised for action? The levels of economic damage caused by natural hazards tend to be exacerbated in economically developed countries whereas the loss of human life tends to be more severe in less economically developed countries Regional Read accounts, view media reports of those who have experienced hazards to appreciate the severity of impacts and varying cultural responses Types of property in different hazard zones (Southern Gulf states, Northern Queensland, Construct a consequences wheel to demonstrate the complex impacts of hazards Compare and contrast consequences in (For e.g. Japan versus Indonesia tsunamis) Diamond rank the consequences of hazards(bushfires, tsunamis, cyclones) in various locations Responding to data and stimulus in extended written responses
7 How should individuals/communi ties/governments manage the prediction and impact of natural hazards? Who will make these decisions? Human perceptions and social a, cultural economic and political structures interact to determine how individual and communities interpret and response to the threat, occurrence and effects of natural hazards. Action is necessary on local, national and international scales to plan ways of predicting the onset of natural hazards, preventing them or mitigating their effects, and developing plans for relief and reconstruction National National responses to hazards (Australia/Malaysia) Classroom discussion to evaluate disaster response strategies of governments and the SES SCAMPER natural hazard management strategies for bushfires, cyclones and tsunamis (Greece vs Australia, Japan versus Indonesia, US versus Australia) Guest speakers from SES, rural fire brigade and local council about natural hazard management Research global responses to natural hazards CAF for cyclones, tsunamis and bushfires in terms of different region s response Decision making matrix for various natural hazard response to bushfires, tsunamis, cyclones Write letters to decision makers using the results of classroom inquiry about hazard responses Assessment technique: Data Response Test
