Geography 2019 v1.1 IA1 sample assessment instrument September 2018
Examination — combination response (25%) This sample has been compiled by the QCAA to assist and support teachers in planning and developing assessment instruments for individual school settings.
Assessment objectives This assessment instrument is used to determine student achievement in the following objectives:
1. explain geographical process by describing the features, elements and interactions between biophysical and anthropogenic processes that shape the identity of places and result in land cover change of the earth’s surface and a changing climate
2. comprehend geographic patterns by recognising spatial patterns of land cover change and indications of climate change at global, regional and local scales of study, identifying relationships and implications for people and places
3. analyse geographic data and information by selecting and interpreting climate and land cover data to infer how patterns, trends and relationships represent a geographical challenge in relation to climate change for a selected land cover type
4. apply geographic understanding by extrapolating from their analysis to generalise about the impacts of climate change on anthropogenic and biophysical environments
6. communicate geographical understanding of the impacts of land cover change and climate change at a variety of scales, by selecting and using cartographic, graphic, written and mathematical skills in short and extended responses.
Note: Objective 5 is not assessed in this instrument.
