BIG IDEA
Understand the idea before memorising a rule.
Rocks and landforms is part of human geography. At Grade 7, the goal is to connect this topic to a clear method, relevant evidence and a final check. You will apply that idea to a real human geography question at this grade level.
YOU WILL LEARN TO
- Explain the key ideas in rocks and landforms using accurate geography vocabulary.
- Apply a reliable method to a new rocks and landforms task.
- Check the result and explain why the evidence supports it.
METHOD
A reliable three-step approach
- 1
Locate the place, pattern or process.
- 2
Use map or data evidence to describe what is happening.
- 3
Explain causes, effects and a realistic response.
