It specifies subject skills across knowledge, geographical understanding, application, investigation, and communication of findings, including fieldwork contexts. The map outlines term-by-term content for year groups 7 to 9, pairing core topics such as coasts, urbanisation, rivers, hazards, industry, population, deserts, and climate with targeted map, graphical, statistical, and enquiry skills. Assessment formats include end-of-unit writing and cumulative reviews, with fieldwork reporting.","| Curriculum Intent:\u003Cbr>Geography is a bridge between the Physical and Social Sciences covering a plethora of different topics whilst allowing students to travel the world from their classroom. By studying Geography at The Dorcan Academy students will develop a lifelong interest in the world around them; they will learn to understand how the features of the earth are connected and how people interact with the environment around them. By studying Geography students will appreciate the complex nature of these connections and how through their actions they can make a difference to the world.\u003Cbr>Students will be equipped to contextualise issues facing the world today, allowing them the opportunity to make and communicate their own informed judgements. They will develop problem solving skills and acquire an understanding of the impacts any decisions they make have on the world around them. Students will be given the opportunity to apply their knowledge to the real world by attending a variety of trips to a range of different environments, pushing them out of their comfort zone as they interact with members of the public. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Subject Specific Skills:\u003Cbr>Demonstrate Knowledge\u003Cbr>To demonstrate knowledge of locations, places, processes, environments and different scales\u003Cbr>Demonstrate Geographical Understanding\u003Cbr>To demonstrate geographical understanding of: concepts and how they are used in relation to places, environments and processes; the interrelationships between places, environments and processes\u003Cbr>Application of Knowledge\u003Cbr>To apply knowledge and understanding to interpret, analyse and evaluate geographical information and issues to make judgements (including applied to fieldwork contexts)\u003Cbr>Investigate Questions and Issues\u003Cbr>To select, adapt and use a variety of skills and techniques to investigate questions and issues and communicate findings (including responding to fieldwork data and contexts) . | Wider Key Skills:\u003Cbr>• Evaluate Key Concepts\u003Cbr>• Construct Balanced Arguments\u003Cbr>• Self-reflection\u003Cbr>• Cultural Understanding\u003Cbr>• Critical Thinking\u003Cbr>• Independent Learning\u003Cbr>• Proof-reading\u003Cbr>• Drafting\u003Cbr>• Planning\u003Cbr>• Map skills\u003Cbr>• Graphical skills\u003Cbr>• Statistical skills |\n\n| Year Group: 7 | Term 1 | Terms 2 and 3 | Terms 3 and 4 | Term 5 | Term 6 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Topic | Coasts | Urbanisation | River | Environmental Geography | Fieldwork |\n| Key Content/\u003Cbr>Knowledge | • Coastal Processes\u003Cbr>• Coastal Landforms\u003Cbr>• Costal Erosion – causes, effects and responses\u003Cbr>• Map symbols and grid references | • Urban Model\u003Cbr>• Urban Regeneration\u003Cbr>• Urban issues in HICs e.g. congestion, crime\u003Cbr>• Urban issues in LICse.g. migration overcrowding\u003Cbr>• Scale, direction and distance | • The River System\u003Cbr>• River Processes\u003Cbr>• River Landform\u003Cbr>• Flooding – causes, effects and responses\u003Cbr>• Contour lines | • Power generation\u003Cbr>• Oil extraction\u003Cbr>• Sustainable Living\u003Cbr>• Fairtrade\u003Cbr>• Food Miles\u003Cbr>• Choropleth Maps | • Data collection\u003Cbr>• Data Presentation\u003Cbr>• Data analysis |\n| Skills Covered | • Map skills\u003Cbr>• Explanation\u003Cbr>• Linking of issues and concepts | • Map skills\u003Cbr>• Explanation\u003Cbr>• Linking of issues and concepts | • Map skills\u003Cbr>• Explanation\u003Cbr>• Linking of issues and concepts | • Explanation\u003Cbr>• Graphical skills\u003Cbr>• Linking of issues and concepts\u003Cbr>• Cartographical skills | • Map Skills\u003Cbr>• Explanation\u003Cbr>• Analytical skills\u003Cbr>• Graphical skills |\n| Assessment | Written end of unit assessment | Written cumulative end of unit assessment | Written cumulative end of unit assessment | Written cumulative end of unit assessment | Fieldwork report |\n| Tier 2 and 3\u003Cbr>Words | \u003Cbr>Y7 Geography Key Words.docx |  |  |  |  |\n\n| Year Group: 8 | Term 1 | Terms 2 and 3 | Term 4 | Term 5 | Term 6 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Topic | Global Industry | The Volcano Hazard | Development and Kenya | Population | Desert Environments |\n| Key Content/\u003Cbr>Knowl","cbCairEB2jkyXSUM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairEB2jkyXSUM","pdf",192234,1,7,"English","en",105,"# Curriculum Intent\n# Subject Specific Skills\n## Demonstrate Knowledge\n## Demonstrate Geographical Understanding\n## Application of Knowledge\n## Investigate Questions and Issues\n# Wider Key Skills\n# Year Group 7\n## Term 1: Coasts\n## Terms 2 and 3: Urbanisation\n## Terms 3 and 4: River\n## Term 5: Environmental Geography\n## Term 6: Fieldwork\n# Year Group 8\n## Term 1: Global Industry\n## Term 2 and 3: The Volcano Hazard\n## Term 4: Development and Kenya\n## Term 5: Population\n## Term 6: Desert Environments\n# Year Group 9\n## Term 1: Glaciation and climate change\n## Term 2: Tourism\n## Term 3: Earthquakes and Tsunamis\n## Term 4: Weather and Climate\n## Terms 5 and 6: GCSE The Living World","[{\"question\":\"What is the curriculum intent for Geography at The Dorcan Academy?\",\"answer\":\"Geography is positioned as a bridge between physical and social sciences, helping students build lifelong interest in the world.
