For each of the themes create a theme poster with something about each of the bullet points
RIVERS
- Explain the processes associated with rivers - three processes of erosion and three processes of transportation
- Identify the landforms that result from these processes - learn the formation of just ONE landform showing how the processes have led to the formation of this landform.
- Show how these landforms and processes affect the lives of people living along rivers
- How successful are different management approaches to the problem of flooding?
- Should we change our approach to river and floodplain management in the future?
CLIMATE CHANGE
- What is the greenhouse effect and how have people’s actions affected this process?
- How conclusive is the range of evidence for climate change?
- What would the possible effects of climate change be in MEDCs and LEDCs?
- How can technology be used and people’s lifestyles changed to reduce the impact of climate change?
TECTONICS
- What are plate margins and how does plate movement generate a variety of landforms? Learn just ONE plate margin to show how these processes generate the landforms at that plate margin.
- What are the primary and secondary hazards associated with volcanoes and earthquake zones?
- Why do people continue to live in hazard zones?
- How are volcanoes monitored and what does this tell us about their state?
- How might the effects of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes be reduced in MEDCs and LEDCs?
CHANGING POPULATIONS
- Where do people live in the world and why do they live there?
- What are the push / pull factors that produce rural – urban migration in LEDCs and urban-rural migration in many MEDCs?
- What are the factors that influence birth and death rates?
- How do differences in birth and death rates affect population numbers and structures in South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Western Europe?
- How may these differences change in the future?
GLOBALISATION
- What is globalisation?
- How have changes in business and technology allowed increased interdependence between MEDCs and LEDCs?
- What are the benefits of globalisation and why do some see it as a threat?
- What are the impacts of globalisation on countries at different levels of development?
- What have been the social and economic impacts of the enlargement of the EU?
- How have newly industrialised countries such as India and China benefited from globalisation? How have patterns of trade hindered economic progress in the least developed LEDCs?
DEVELOPMENT
- How are global patterns of development identified?
- How is economic and social development measured and what are the global patterns?
- What are the regional patterns of economic and/or social development in one LEDC?
- What are the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and how are governments and nongovernmental organisations addressing them?
- What progress is being made by South Asian countries towards the MDGs?
- What progress is being made by sub-Saharan African countries towards the MDGs?
