Bristol regeneration (Harbourside & Temple Quarter)
Contained in zipped file (must extract/ open to access resources)
We were keen to separate Paper 1 and 2 from fieldwork units, and reduce workload, so I created this ‘mini unit’ for the department which includes:
Fieldwork data collection booklet, methods include for each of the three sites: Land use tally, environmental quality survey for old site (old pictures included) and current site, mood mapping for old site (old pictures included) and current site, pedestrian count and questionnaire. Each method links to one or more of our key questions (see below).
26 page work booklet (integrated titles, DINs, lesson tasks, exam questions and plenary tasks)
Knowledge organiser
Lessons 1-3:
*Our physical fieldwork is longer as it introduces ‘generic’ presentation styles and learning of key terms, such as ‘primary, secondary data, qualitative, quantitative…’ This is also available on here.
I have also included the lesson from our Urban Issues section on Bristol regeneration to provide much needed context/ reminder of theory being explored.
Introduction, risks and data collection methods
Data presentation and analysis
What conclusions can we make from our analysis and how do we evaluate our enquiry?
This human fieldwork is based on the enquiry question ‘Has regeneration improved Bristol harbourside?’
Key questions:
What is the land use at Bristol Harbourside?
How has the environment changed?
Which areas are the most popular and why?
PDF and PowerPoint versions are included in order to edit should you wish (enquiry location, school logos, DIN questions…)
All proceeds will help our ever shrinking department budget, which I need to stop supplementing with my own money.
