y Where on earth am I?

An introdu ction to asi c aps and ap skills. This topi c provides the

foundation to all geographi cal knowledge and future fertile

questions.

y Where is paradise? Is paradise lost? D uring the investigation of this question we looked at the hu an and

physi cal attra ctions of pla ces. We studied the patterns of glo al

touris and the reasons why touris has in creased over the last 50

years. Finally we looked at whether touris should e stopped to

prote ct the environ ent or whether touris could continue as long

as it was sustaina le for the environ ent.

y Who do you think you are?

In this fertile question we egan to think a out cultures, stereotypes

and identity. We have done a class investigation into where we have

co e fro and we used this infor ation to dis cuss how igration

has influen ced the culture and traditions in the UK. We also

dis cussed so e of the negative views people have of igration and

why they ight hold these views.
