Final People as Consumers Coursework - Year 10

a) Work (in groups if necessary) to collate the raw primary data from the questionnaires.

b) Present this data in graphical form. (To gain top marks try to: Use three different types of graph for three different questions or types of data. Use ICT to present the graphs and data).

c) Write a brief description of, and comment on, what the graphs show about pupil consumption and possible consequences – OR BETTER STILL! – annotate the graphs to make them into LIVING GRAPHS.

• Remember that I showed you the electricity consumption graph with annotations to explain the spikes: e.g. the waffle iron...
  

STAGE 3

a) Use annotation, colour shading, symbols and arrows to show the possible ‘geographical reach’ or in other words, the spatial consequences/impacts of the pupil consumption patterns that you have discovered.

b) You could focus on showing the consequences suggested by one of your graphs or of one of the questions, or you could try to show a range of consequences of pupil consumption.

c) You may use the base maps provided or you may design your own ‘impacts web’. The base maps will be given to you next week, but they are basically a choice of map of either the UK, Europe or the World, on different scales.

YOU SHOULD HAND IN THREE ITEMS AS YOUR FINAL COURSEWORK – ON OR BEFORE THE 11th of APRIL

1) Brief written justification of the primary data collection methods

2) Graphs with brief written comment, to show your findings

3) Annotated maps or ‘impacts web’ to show the Geographical Reach of the consumption of KES pupils. This relates to the places which your consumption reaches or affects.

HOW TO BE BRILLIANT …..

Try to show you understand these key concepts, use these words as often and as appropriately as you can.

• Uneven development
• Interdependence
• Globalisation
• Impacts of our actions

Aim to achieve work that matches these descriptions:

• Select and use more complex and appropriate skills, approaches and techniques to collect and analyse primary data and questions/issues with little guidance (i.e. use a number of types of graph and diagram appropriately, design your own data collection method well).
• Clearly communicate with a good understanding of the intended audience (i.e. use good and detailed annotation and map techniques).
• Make selective and appropriate use of ICT information sources and systems (do some graphs using Excel, use ICT to organise information, use the internet to find helpful information).
