The document provides a "Humanities Level Mountain" that outlines different levels of skills and abilities in humanities. It begins with basic skills like identifying, describing and determining at the bottom levels. Mid-levels include explaining, arguing, analyzing and comparing. The top levels involve creating, shaping, critiquing, debating and assessing. It asks how the learner can use their success criteria to progress along the mountain by applying, appraising, re-designing, examining and linking skills to their goals.
The document discusses the purposes and types of assessment, including formative assessment which aims to develop student understanding through feedback, and summative assessment which evaluates learning at a point in time. It emphasizes that effective assessment involves students, supports teaching and learning goals, and provides feedback to modify instruction and help students improve. Assessment should be planned, communicated clearly to students, and suited to its intended purpose of developing understanding.
Indigenous tribes like the Orang Asli in Malaysia have been displaced from their lands due to logging and mining activities, with some arrested when protesting. Logging in Borneo led to total forest destruction in the 1980s when it was the largest tropical wood exporter. The 9,000 strong Kenyah people were forced to leave their homes due to clear felling and now face issues like poverty, depression, and alcoholism. Selective logging continues but reduces biodiversity and uses machinery and roads that damage the environment. Large infrastructure projects like dams have also forced people to resettle while flooding forest areas.
This document provides an overview of a professional development session on differentiation and personalized learning. The session includes: an introduction defining key terms; a knowledge harvest where teachers share what they know; creating mixed-ability groups; differentiating instruction by content, process and product; and checking for learning. Teachers work in groups to discuss and create Google documents on these topics. The session aims to make teachers more explicit in their efforts to meet all learners' needs through differentiation strategies.
1. The document discusses establishing clarity about learning in the classroom, with a focus on learning intentions, relevance, modeling, success criteria, and checking for understanding.
2. It provides examples of learning intentions at different levels of specificity for various subjects. Success criteria should show learners what they are aiming for and how to get there.
3. Both learning intentions and success criteria should be displayed, explained, and referred to regularly to ensure students understand the purpose and quality of their learning.
Population pyramids are used to show the age and gender distribution of a country's population. They provide insights into a country's birth rate, death rate, and future population changes. Population pyramids can help identify countries that have high birth and death rates, as well as those where the population is stabilizing or aging. They are a useful tool for understanding differences between countries and predicting future needs.

This document introduces a game to simulate how a population's structure, made up of age groups like young dependents, economically active individuals, and older dependents, can change over time due to natural events like births, deaths, and aging. Players of the game will experience these chance events and see how they affect the population of a hypothetical country.
The document discusses analyzing photos of volcanoes and describing volcanic landforms and processes. Students are prompted to think of questions about each photo, describe them using vocabulary words provided, and discuss what is shown including eruptions, lava flows, ash, and the formation of a volcano within a volcano on an island.
Volcanoes come in different types and erupt in various ways. They form where tectonic plates meet in the Earth's crust. The main types are shield volcanoes which erupt fluid lava flows, composite volcanoes which alternate between explosive eruptions and lava flows, and cinder cone volcanoes which erupt ash and cinders. Volcanoes can be active, dormant, or extinct depending on how recently they have erupted.
The document discusses population management policies in the Indian state of Kerala. It notes that Kerala has experienced one of the greatest declines in fertility rates in India, with women having an average of 2 children, similar to rates in the UK. This is attributed to factors like high literacy rates, especially for women (85% literacy for women in Kerala), greater educational and work opportunities for women, later ages of marriage, improved access to healthcare and family planning, and greater legal rights and financial independence for women. The empowerment of women has been a major factor in Kerala's success in lowering its population growth rate.
The document discusses China's one child policy, which was introduced in 1979 to control the country's rapidly growing population. The policy limited urban couples to only one child and led to controversial population control measures. While it helped reduce population growth, it also caused issues like an aging population and gender imbalance from cultural preferences for sons over daughters. In recent years, China has relaxed the policy by allowing two children for rural families and ethnic minorities. However, the long-term implications of the imbalanced population structure due to the one child policy remain to be seen in the future.
The document discusses population management strategies in less economically developed countries (LEDCs). It provides examples of anti-natalist policies used in China and India to control rapid population growth. Specifically, it describes China's one-child policy and population education programs in the Indian state of Kerala that have been effective in reducing birth rates.
Boolean operators like AND, OR, and NOT can help narrow internet searches. AND requires both search terms to be present, OR finds articles with either term, and NOT excludes articles containing the second term. Quotation marks can search for exact phrases. The document provides examples of how to construct searches using these Boolean operators and quotation marks to efficiently find relevant information on a topic.
The document provides guidance on answering levelled marked questions for exams. It advises that to achieve full marks, students should [1] outline their plan, [2] jot down key ideas and order them, [3] include specific examples and place names, and [4] write in linked sentences using connectives. It also notes that questions often ask for both immediate and long-term responses, so students must address both. The document then provides examples of responses for different levels, with higher levels including more detailed examples and balancing immediate and long-term impacts.
The Himalayas mountain range is located in Asia, between India and China. It contains 30 mountains and 9 of the highest peaks in the world, including Mount Everest which is the tallest at 8,848 meters. The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The mountains feature steep peaks, alpine glaciers, and the Tethys Himalaya geosyncline.
The Alps saw over 38 million lodging nights in 2011, with hotels at 41.7% capacity. Tourism brings both economic benefits and pollution as more transportation is needed. The Alps are fold mountains formed over millions of years by the collision of tectonic plates. They are used for agriculture, hydroelectric power, and tourism, which is a major income source. The Alps continue rising today as the African plate pushes into Europe.
The Himalayas are the tallest mountain range in the world, stretching across six countries. They formed as a result of the collision between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The mountains have beautiful physical features like snowfields, glaciers, and avalanches that feed major rivers. Humans engage in tourism activities like hiking, trekking, and mountaineering in the Himalayas. Transportation is challenging due to the steep slopes and climate, so yaks are used to help with transportation.
Ribbon Lakes are long and narrow lakes that fill U-shaped valleys left behind after glaciation. They receive water from rainfall, nearby streams and rivers.
Anticlines are folds of rock layers that slope upward on both sides of a low point, forming when rocks are compressed by plate tectonic forces and can range in size from a hill to a mountain range. Synclines are folds that slope downward on both sides of a crest, also forming from compression by plate tectonics across scales from cliff sides to entire valleys.
Anticlines are folds where rock layers slope upwards on both sides of a central low point, forming a hill or mountain range, while synclines are folds where rock layers slope downwards on both sides of a central crest, forming a valley or the side of a cliff. Both anticlines and synclines form due to compression from plate tectonic forces.
Glaciers are defined as frozen rivers that are mostly found on top of mountains and move slowly due to being frozen. Some key examples of glaciers mentioned are the Baltoro Glaciers in North Pakistan, the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina, and the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland.
