Reflection:
I have learnt that effective and well planned lessons that present differentiation and maintain student engagement, fosters a
high quality learning environment. Students are engaged with learning when 21st century skills and tools are used in an
authentic and meaningful way. Lessons which are interactive and student driven give students scope to apply previous
knowledge to new learning situations. Student self- regulation and motivation must be encouraged by the teacher with strict
guidelines for how students are expected to engage with the on- line learning sequence. High expectations are paramount.

Reflection: I have learnt that effective and well planned lessons that present differentiation and maintain student
engagement; foster a high quality learning environment. Additionally, structured and modelled lessons allow students to
learn from explicit feedback. Moreover the repetition of skills in geography is important as it allows students to practise
their skill in preparation for HSC. The application of skills learnt such as interpretation of Google Earth maps or satellite
imagery in authentic inquiry based lessons like the ones in this Webquest allows students to transfer and apply knowledge
when needed in the HSC exam

29
Reflection: Students engage with their learning when learning environments promote a love of learning and high
expectations. Teacher passion and knowledge of their subject is important in the promotion of learning. Additionally student
immersion in an authentic task that has relevance and meaning to their life and a practical application to life outside of the
classroom walls such as a career can help promote higher levels of engagement. It is crucial that students be able to access
the curriculum appropriately and as such differentiation of product and delivery as in these 3 lessons promotes greater
outcomes for all learners.

Biosphere: the realm of earth that includes all plant and animal life forms
Counter urbanisation- a marked decline in the total population, or growth of the population, of large metropolitan areas and the subsequent
growth of smaller urban centres at their expense- first identified in North America in the 1970s where counter urbanisation had replaced
urbanisation as the dominant force shaping the nation’s settlement pattern
Ecological dimension: describes the relationship between people and the environment and the effect that they have on each other
Ecologically Sustainable development: using, conserving and enhancing the community’s resources so the ecological processes are maintained

Ecosystem: a system formed by the interaction of all living organisms(plants, animals, humans) with each other and with the physical elements
of the environment in which they live
Environment: the ‘total surroundings’ including the components of the biophysical world, and the cultural, social, political and economic
contexts of people
Environmental impact assessments: a detailed study for a proposed development that identifies and describes the environment, predicts any
likely changes that might result from such a proposal, assesses the significance of any predicted changes and reports through an environmental
impact statement which makes provision for community consultation

35
PEEL Paragraph Writing
Point
Your first sentence must state your point. It introduces the topic you’re about to discuss and tells the
reader what the paragraph is going to be about. This is sometimes called a topic sentence.
Evidence
Support your point with evidence and examples. In the next one or two sentences, give evidence to
expand upon and support the point you made. Evidence can include facts, statistics, research
findings, and quotes from a credible authority or a primary text.
Explanation
This is where you show your understanding by explaining in more detail how and why your evidence supports your point. Your explanation should interpret
the evidence for the reader.
Link
The last sentence should reinforce your original point or link your writing to the next paragraph. The link sentence can provide a transition to the next topic
or paragraph.
Note: The PEEL approach is most effective when your writing is first carefully planned. To do this jot down the key points you are going to make and the
evidence and explanations you can use to help support your point.

Location and Latitude- Coastal Sand Dunes are obviously located in coastal
regions but they are generally found on coasts that experience strong onshore
(wind that blows on to the shore from the sea) prevailing winds.
For this reason most Coastal Sand Dune ecosystems are found in the world's
temperate and arid tropical climatic zones because these areas are more likely
to experience onshore prevailing winds.
In the wet tropical zones, prevailing winds are generally weaker and less able
to move the volume of sand required construct large sand dune.
Stockton Bight is located at the mid-point of the New South Wales coast,
halfway between Victoria and Queensland. It is 165 kilometres north of
Sydney.
57
The predominant process that shows how the four spheres interact on Coastal
Sand Dunes along the SE coast of Australia is called the ACCRETION
CYCLE. Simply, the accretion cycle is a process that helps deposit, store and
remove sand on Coastal Sand Dunes.
Nature and Rates of Change- Like all ecosystems, Coastal Sand Dunes do
change over time. The causes of these changes have predominantly been
natural, but in recent times humans have contributed greatly to the rapid
changes that have occurred on Coastal Sand Dunes.
58
Discuss Positive Impacts on sand dunes including:
The most positive human impact that has been made on the Stockton Bight
Coastal Sand Dunes was by the Aboriginal people, particularly the Worimi
Nation. The Worimipeople, through a practice called "fire stick farming", have
actively encouraged vegetation growth.Vegetation plays two important roles
on Coastal Sand Dunes.
Some of the main vegetation species found at Stockton Bight -such as
Banksias, Wattles, and Eucalypts- depend on fire for the propagation of their
seeds and for the development of new growth.
The Stockton Bight sand dune ecosystem has been managed for thousands of
years by local Aboriginal groups. In more recent times, management of the
ecosystem is divided between the various governmental agencies and
departments responsible for particular aspects of the ecosystem.

Justification
For the purpose of this assessment, I have incorporated evidence based pedagogical research and theoretical frameworks in order to construct a
series of 3 lessons for the HSC Year 12 Geography Course, topic: Ecosystems at Risk. I have attached classroom ready supporting
Bloom’s Theory of Taxonomy is a theoretical framework which can be easily transferred into the year 12 Geography classroom. Bloom’s
Taxonomy describes “the cognitive domain related to learners' and recalls or recognises the knowledge and the development of intellectual
abilities and skills; learners' interests, attitudes, and values; and a learners motor skills” (Surjosuseno & Watts, 1999). Kelly (2014) suggests that
Blooms can be applied into the Geography classroom and used as an excellent way to differentiate course content. Using Bloom’s theory for the
creation of my lesson plans, allows for student access, at a level commensurate to their ability.
The year 12 Geography Unit: Ecosystems at Risk, requires students to conduct geographical investigation in order to collect information and
formulate ideas. As such, students within this unit should learn to: hypothesise, make use of criticism, understand subjectivity, be critical
thinkers and move towards deepening their understanding of how the course concepts overlap and interact. By considering this idea, the aim of
my lessons is to have students working towards higher level thinking skills. Bloom’s describes this as being able to: Evaluate, analyse and
create.
62
Beginning with my pre-lesson, I build on knowledge previously gained by students during their study of Ecosystems at Risk. Students have
already completed all lessons as outlined in the Unit Outline for the topic. The purpose of lesson 1/3 is to engage students, by having them utilise
The task presented to the students during this lesson, asks that students consider themselves as an ‘expert in the field’ for the Bureau of
Environmental Research for Ecosystems at Risk. Students are required to research two case studies- The Great Barrier Reef and Stockton Bight
sand dunes and deliver their findings in an online report. By completing this task, students are able to authentically appoint themselves in their
learning.
The unit of work designed for the topic: Ecosystems at Risk, directly links to the online comparative study and the 3 lesson plans. The online
learning activities are part of a series of 3 lessons, where students investigate and study two ecosystems at risk. The online comparative study is
in support of further detailed lessons in each case study, conducted in class as part of the unit. At the completion of the 3 on-line lessons,
The online comparative study facilitates student learning, as it allows each student the opportunity to immerse themselves in an authentic task,
with an authentic audience. Having the lessons presented to students using an online platform, permits each student with an equal opportunity to
be able to successfully meet the intended learning outcomes for the Geography Stage 6 syllabus. It allows students better time management, as
students can work independently on set tasks both in and out of the classroom. Using a web quest page to deliver content to the students provides
63
extra support for those that need additional time to complete their learning. In addition, it makes learning transferable as students can keep up-to-
date with class work, even if they are not physically present in the classroom.
This digital platform allows students to actively participate in the learning via the use of ICT. It permits students with an opportunity to improve
their research skills, as they are required to retrieve information from a number of sources. In particular, many of the learning activities
demonstrated throughout the lessons, require students to interpret visual representations of information, in the form of a video (YouTube).
Moreover, the use of Google Earth and digital imagery (satellite images) has also been employed throughout the lessons, so that students meet
the needs for high stakes learning. I used an existing webquest and enhanced it to suit the learning needs of my class. In particular I added skills
activities to the webquest and changed the end task into a more authentic opportunity for learning. Implementation of rich digital sources into the
Web Quest also enabled me as teacher to guide the learning of the geographic knowledge and skills in an engaging way and enabled a shift
towards active 21st Century learning, for every student. Integrating the use of ICT into the classroom provides students the chance to take greater
charge of their own and each other's learning, providing a framework for deep learning competencies. Digital technologies, such as Google
Earth, accelerates student learning. Therefore, having students complete the Google Earth activity (see lesson plan) subsequently, enhances
According to Bodzin, Anastasio & Lehigh (2014) “ Web-based geospatial tools such as Google Earth and instructional resources integrated with
appropriately designed instructional materials show great potential in promoting spatial thinking with diverse learners”. It is also suggested that
recent education reform initiatives emphasises the significance of developing thinking skills, data analysis skills and understanding real-world
64
applications, and utilizing the power of technology in teaching and learning, allows for the development of spatial thinking skills- providing a
Throughout the online study, students are required to complete mapping activities such as: drawing a Precis Map and written responses. These
activities have been specifically designed to help improve student’s numeracy and literacy skills. Paramount to the successful completion of the
HSC Geography Course is the need for students to build their reading and writing skills. Literacy for students, involves students listening,
reading, viewing, speaking, writing and creating oral, print, visual and digital texts, and using and modifying language for different purposes in a
range of contexts. The online comparative study designed for this topic, teaches students how to be able to transfer knowledge and skills and
apply it to new learning situations. The activities presented incorporate a variety of literary modes that can be categorised by the Bloom’s matrix.
In particular, HSC terminology such as: evaluate and analyse, have been included in the learning tasks where students are to write responses to
questions. By implementing this teaching strategy, students are familiarised with HSC terminology, which ultimately allows them the
opportunity to continually refine their literacy skills and become better prepared for writing written responses in the final HSC examination. In
addition, throughout my lessons I have integrated differentiation, in order to meet the needs of every student. A variety of teaching strategies
have been developed, including activities that require students to work both collaboratively and independently on set tasks.
65
Embedded throughout the series of lessons, is Assessment for learning. The shared platform (webquest) and the informal assessment at the end
of the online study (final task), has been sequenced appropriately, so that students can first build on their prior knowledge and skills whilst
working towards higher level achievement. By lesson 3, students should be able to submit a well written, coherent and logical report.
Delivering lessons using an on-line platform, promotes classroom participation by encouraging a high degree of pupil response. This style of
teaching is labelled as Student-Centred Learning. SCI is an instructional approach in which students influence the content, activities, materials,
and pace of learning. Utilizing this pedagogy in the Geography classroom, means as a teacher, I am able to observe those students who may need
additional support with the outcomes being taught or, recognise those students whom need their learning fast tracked. It is also critical to use
clear, accessible language when teaching and supporting students who may be unfamiliar with academic discourse. With this in mind, students
are facilitated in the learning activities via graphic organisers and scaffolds, such as: PEEL and the Y-chart.
The primary focus for the 3 lessons and subsequent learning activities is to promote and encourage student learning. By targeting their research
and academic writing skills, students can progress with their learning and hopefully achieve higher bands in the HSC.
This inquiry based pedagogical approach, also enables students to become equipped with the appropriate skills and knowledge required to
66
Overall, I have included into my lessons, teaching strategies that are considered appropriate to the HSC Geography Course and specifically the
topic being studied: Ecosystems at Risk. The use of online/ digital tools, such as: Webquest and Google Earth have been implemented into the
online learning activities, as a means of making learning accessible and relevant for every student.
