Yr10 Controlled Assessment - Data Presentation

A reminder about a couple of things that I mentioned to you this morning if you are in my group, and that Miss Bradford will be mentioning next week if you are in her group:

- GE Graph is the tool that allows you to add data into placemarks and therefore create graphs in Google Earth. There's more info here about it from Noel Jenkins, and from the Google Earth Community here.

- There's a really useful blog post here, also from Noel Jenkins. It was written about ways the Google Earth could be used in coursework, but most, if not all, of the ideas could also be used in your Controlled Assessment.

- Although it's written for A Level, the guide here about how to draw an isopleth map is quite useful if you need a reminder.

Don't forget that the key purpose of your data presentation is to present your findings in a clear, logical and accessible way. Think about what you want each map or graph to show, and make sure that you choose the type of map or graph accordingly.

Using the websites above, Google Earth, and any other relevant websites that you find:

- add any additional points to your table showing the key features of the Birmingham and Bristol regeneration/redevelopment schemes.

- for each scheme, list the advantages and disadvantages... try to consider as many different stakeholders/interest groups (ie people who would have an opinion about the schemes) as you can... remember, that a factor that is an advantage for one stakeholder might well be a disadvantage for another.

- compare and contrast the two schemes.

- suggest which of the two schemes you think is the most sustainable (remember, economic sustainability, environmental sustainability and social sustainability), and justify your answer.

Save your work, email a copy to me, and print a copy to put into your DME folder.
