Hello Geographers! I hope you've enjoyed the fieldtrip to Labrador Nature Reserve on Friday 17 November 2006 and have learned something from the experience.
As with all fieldtrips, meaningful learning takes place when you are able to make connections between what has been taught in the classroom and what is observed in the field.
The following 2 assignments constitute part of your CA for Term 1 2007.
1. Group Activity: Our Learning Journey (20 marks)
Each assigned group will take charge of providing information (content) for each of the following sections/ labels:
(a) Location 1: Natural Vegetation
(b) Location 2: Coastal Studies
(c) Location 3: Coastal Protection
(d) Location 4: Weathering & History
Each section will be assessed based on the following criteria:
(a) Clear understanding of concepts
(b) Ability to link what is observed in the field to what is learned in the classroom
(c) Detailed (meaningful) explanation of activities carried out
(d) Useful pictures/ photographs
(e) Ability to introduce concepts/ examples outside of the textbook/ syllabus relevant to the topic/ section
Please note that the groups have been allocated randomly. I expect you will be able to work with any of your classmates by focussing on the task at hand rather than on any differences which you may have. Please refer to the 1st post for each section/ label for a list of the members responsible for providing the information.
Please find some time to discuss how you wish to present the information so that it is organised and easy to understand. Each group is made up of 9 members so the leaders (names in bold) must be able to delegate the tasks well and ensure ideas are well-communicated to ALL group members. You may use the fieldtrip worksheets as a guide for your posts and provide an account of the type of activities carried out at that location. At the same time, I would expect more details to be included and links to the topic to be made. The name(s) of the author(s) should be indicated as the title for each post.
2. Individual Activity: My Reflections (20 marks)
Please refer to the section/ label 'My Reflections' for more details on this.
Things to Note:
1) Any updates by me will appear under ‘Teacher’.
2) Please remember to categorise your post under the label ‘My Reflections’ for individual reflections and any of the 4 sections assigned to your group for the group assignment:
(a) Location 1: Natural Vegetation
(b) Location 2: Coastal Studies
(c) Location 3: Coastal Protection
(d) Location 4: Weathering History
3) For both the group and individual activity, please also include your name(s) as the title for each post for assessment purposes.
