Year 10 Coastal Management Essay Question - Due next Day 1 (Wednesday, 18th November)

You have been asked to write a short essay (c. 500 words).

The title for the essay is:

What strategies can be put in place to control the impact of wave erosion upon human economic activity? You should give an example from an area you have studied.

I want you to come up with an essay structure before you begin writing. Here are some tips and recommendations:

Draw up a list of keywords that you think will be useful for the essay before you do anything else!

Structure:

Introduction

- Outline what the essay is going to be about

- Introduce your chosen study area (case study or case studies if you choose 2 - e.g. Scarborough / Sundarbans / Maldives etc. - you can take a look at the "Coasts" chapter in the New Wider World for extra case studies).

Main body of essay

- Discuss how wave activity causes wave erosion

- Discuss how wave erosion can impact human economic activity along coastlines.

- Discuss the solutions (management strategies, hard and soft) that people use to protect their coastlines from erosion, using the details from your chosen study area (or areas).

- You could mention the positive and negative impacts that these management strategies have on the coastline and its inhabitants.

Conclusion

- Tie together your thoughts and discuss how you feel coastlines "should" be protected (in your opinion).

The final essay is to handed in next Wednesday (DAY 1), 18th November.

Year 13 Globalisation Homework - Due next lesson

"Effects of cultural integration"

Produce a case study of a particular country/region (you will most likely need to use more than one as it is hard to focus on a single location).

Your case study must assess the positive and negative impacts that cultural integration has had on the places in question.

Word limit: 750 words (upto!).

Tip: Use the links on this blog in the right hand column (look for the heading: Year 13 Globalisation) for your research. Think carefully about your structure before you write as you don't have many words.
