I was just wondering for the extended responses did your teacher tell you to draw brief maps of case studies and diagrams of certain things for example a coral polyp or a push flush toilet?

Only draw something that is really relevant to the question, such as

The Nature, spatial distribution of winemaking - Draw a mini atlas & highlight the areas of winemaking

Biophysical interactions in ecosystems - Draw a diagram of the accretion cycle, sand getting transported by waves then wind

What would you mention for the "relationship between urban dynamics & the changing economic character"?

Well, for Sydney as an example you would write about how urban decay in harbourside suburbs such as Pyrmont has come about due to less imports/exports by sea, or how a growing demand for inner-city jobs due to growing economic enterprises in the area has resulted in urban consolidation, etc.

Anyone know if it is 2 or 3 essays?

You must complete 2 essays but you get a choice of 3

Any chance they will specify which one or if they will get us to do all 3?

 

[asadass]

Nah that won't happen

Not 3. It is always possible they could only give two and tell you to do both of them though.

Does anyone have a good place to learn skills with examples from a map? Tried doing it and its too hard...

Everyone got their sketch maps ready for tomorrow's extended response? On the topic of extended responses we do have to answer all 3 right?

Why do people think we needa do 3 extended responses

Why do people think we needa do 3 extended responses

Its been asked I think about 2 or 3 years back and onwards

Guys for the extended responses do they give one question for each topic and we can pick two of the topics or can they give us two questions on the same topic with another one from a different topic?

They typically include an extended response from each topic.

Also, the syllabus was different 2-3 years ago, hence why they had to answer 3 extended responses (they only had 15 mc as well).

If it says use atleast one case study, for the ecosystems at risk question. Do you think that I should use one or two because I have learnt two.

If you think it will make your argument stronger, go for it.

For urban places extended response its been world cities then large cities pretty much back and forth. But in 2003 it was mega cities and 2006 with mega cities contrast with world cities, 2007 and 2010 were exactly the same question on a country town or suburb. I really don't know what BOS have planned, I hope the questions are kind.

Yes it is pretty much impossible to know what the question will be on. But im hoping mega cities and a nice question for ecosystems. If its not on mega cities ill probably choose the economic activity question.

Board of studies online multiple choice is pretty good, well the best way I have found.
