Construction of
response |
Writing is largely
statements from the Endo task.
There is little
attempt to link information together |
Good linkage between
the information from the Endo task.
You will use phrases
such as “because, so, then, this caused, which meant etc…” |
Answers are more
specific. You will go beyond the Endo information to group together
causes and reasons why the quake was so bad.
You will make more
inferences and will suggest possible measures for reducing earthquake
damage |
Highly detailed, Well
structured and accurate description and explanation. You will go well
beyond the data provided. |
|
Location and patterns
of human and physical responses |
You begin to give
explanations for the location of human / physical features e.g. The
earthquake in relation to plates moving.
You begin to describe
patterns and human/physical processes e.g. some areas of town more
damaged than others due to age of buildings, distance from epicentre etc… |
An increasingly
greater range of both human and physical processes being described and
some of these being linked |
Interactions within
and between human and physical processes being described (Level 7) and
explained (level 8) and the geographical patterns which result:
e.g. a sustained
discussions as to why some parts of Kobe were more damaged than others |
Explain complex
interaction between and within human and physical processes |
|
Change |
Begin to show
understanding of how the earthquake affected Kobe and the lives and
activities of its people |
Show a greater
understanding of how the earthquake affected Kobe and its people.
Begin to suggest how
the threat of earthquakes has brought about change e.g. Building design
and regulations |
A more reasoned
discussion of the various effects of earthquakes and how to prepare for
these e.g. Education / Earthquake drills, building design, storage of
food, water, blankets etc… |
Detailed advice on how
to minimise death and damage in the future with reference to future
changes etc… |
