Assigned Work for 5th Year Students during school closure
Hello all! I hope this message finds you and your families, safe and well. As we are living through unprecedented times, I think it would be a great idea to document this living history. This Covid-19 outbreak will go down in the geography and history books in years to come and you will be able to tell your own children and grandchildren about it. SO, I want you all to keep a diary of this school closure. Get a small unused notebook and start writing. Just a few lines day, how you are feeling, what is happening in Ireland on that day AND don't forget to include some statistics from around the world. This will be a unique primary source that you have created during this strange time. I will be checking in on your diary's progress regularly, so keep it up. Ms. Fisher
Here's a link to a really interesting GIS website that allows you to track the virus worldwide.

Week beginning 16th March
Hi guys, so Population! My favorite topic!! So interesting and always changing. This week we are going to focus on the factors that effect population distribution and density.
Using the notes I gave you, please fill in the key words:
When this is done I want you to watch the 2 short videos on the Human Environment page on fishgeog- one on the impact the Romanian policy had on future generations of children. If you are unfamiliar with this, chat to your parents about what they remember from the media in the 1980s and 1990s. Its a difficult watch so discretion is advised. The other is on the impact the One Child Policy has had on China. Also an interesting topic!
Then I want you to plan an essay on the factors that effect Pop Distribution and Density. 2 Paragraphs-Hman & Physical (6-7 SRPS on each) use the templates and take a photo and email it to me when done. That will do for this wk!
