Work sample Year 8 Geography: Landscapes and landforms

This work sample demonstrates evidence of student learning in relation to aspects of the achievement standards for Year 8 Geography. The primary purpose for the work sample is to demonstrate the standard, so the focus is on what is evident in the sample not how it was created. The sample is an authentic representation of student work and may contain errors such as spelling mistakes and other inaccuracies. In this work sample students: • explain the features of a distribution and identify implications • explain the interconnections between people and places and environments • explain responses or strategies to address a geographical phenomenon or challenge, referring to environmental, economic or social factors • collect, organise and represent relevant and reliable data and information, using primary research methods and secondary research materials • interpret and analyse data and information to explain patterns and trends and infer relationships • decide on appropriate strategies for action and explain potential impacts • use geographical knowledge, methods, concepts, terms and reference findings from sources to create descriptions, explanations and responses
