Read over the instructions for each task you are do complete for Lesson 1. This will help you to focus on the information you will need as you go through the independent research links and videos. Note: To show your work each lesson you could - 1) Complete the PowerPoint provided and upload completed work to Show My Homework or email to your teacher. 2) You can print off the pdf file, complete the tasks, take pictures or scan your work and upload to Show My Homework or email the work to your teacher. 3) If you are really stuck, you can simply complete the tasks on a sheet of paper and send your completed work to Show My Homework or email your teacher. |
Main Tasks:
1) Use this lesson from BBC Bitesize to help get started with learning about the coastal zone. 2) Next, read over the Kiddle Article on Coasts. Using this, FILL IN the table on the worksheet about how people use the coastline. Try to EXPLAIN each use and then meet the Challenge - RESEARCH examples of different places around the UK Coastline where these activities take place. 3) Now, LOOK at the diagram of the coastal zone on the worksheet. Turn this into a DESCRIPTION of the features of the coastal zone - remember when describing we SAY WHAT WE SEE! Stuck? Try starting like this - 'The coastal zone can be broken up into 3 parts - the coast, the beach and the offshore area. The beach can be further broken down into...' 4) On a separate piece of paper, DRAW a labeled diagram to illustrate the different parts of the coast from the diagram provided on the worksheet. Challenge – can you suggest which human uses of the coast would happen in the different locations on the coastline diagram? Add these in a different colour on your diagram. Want to level up your learning? Why not make your own model of the coastal zone - try using clay or any other material you happen to have at home to create a 3D version of the coastal zone diagram on the worksheet. Make sure you add labels (using paper/post-its) as well! Send your teacher a picture of your leveled-up attempt. |
Plenary:
Why not create your own quiz for your family about what you have learned about the coastal zone today? It can be super easy multiple choice questions, or you could make it doubly hard by turning your learning into an emoji quiz! Send your teacher your best quizzes and we may even use in lesson! Want to know more? - Check out the episodes for Coasts from the BBC to learn even more about coastal features around the UK. |

Want to know more? Have a read through this GeoFactsheet on the Holderness Coastline. You've now finished the Coasts topic. Your Assessment Task will follow below. Make sure you have been keeping up with your Seneca Revision Assignments as well so your knowledge of Russia is up-to-date before you start the assessment. |
Coasts Assessment Task
Starter:
Read back over all the tasks you have completed over the past 6 lessons and ensure you have completed your Seneca Review tasks as well. Before you attempt this task, watch this video about coastal erosion in the UK. This should give you some inspiration for the assessment task. Note: For evidence on this assessment you can - 1) Complete the task and upload completed work to Show My Homework or email to your teacher. 2) If you are really stuck, you can simply complete the tasks on a sheet of paper, take a picture of the assessment work and upload to Show My Homework or email your teacher. |
Main tasks:
1) You must read through the instruction sheet first. The East Riding of Yorkshire County Council want to put new sea defences in place along the Holderness Coast. You are going to pitch your ideas to the council. 2) You must come up with a 1-minute presentation deciding which areas to protect along the Holderness Coast and which defense strategies to use. This can be done using PowerPoint, video or an audio submission. If you can't do any of the above, you can write a script for your presentation to the council. 3) You have a budget of £6 million. You can decide to implement a management strategy at each area, or just one area. What is important is that you justify (give reasons) for your decisions. The best pitch will win the funding. You must weigh-up the cost/benefit analysis of each defense when making your decision. Good luck! Challenge yourself - Try to ensure you use a range of evidence to support your choices (eg. maps, images, number facts). |
Plenary:
Check through the assessment grid to make sure you have included all the key information to attain the target grade you want to achieve.
