Year 9 Elective - Geography:

Globetrotters

Course Description

Assessment Unit Assessments could include:

In year 9 Geography students investigate the ways we are connected to places, and the ways

we are interconnected on a global scale. This involves analysing maps, data, videos, and other

information about topics such as the clothing industry, social media, sport and world leaders.

Students also study the different zones of the world known as Biomes and consider how we can

access and grow food within different biomes. Students investigate where our food comes from,

food waste and food insecurity, and create solutions to these significant global issues. Students

will conduct research out in the field at a local shopping precinct.
