  15. Teaching about the Azores…free resources

  16. -Categorising card sort -Locating onto map / GIS -Holiday planning -Evaluating potential impact of each activity e.g. Resource 23

  17. e.g. from Resource 15 BACKGROUND Graciosa plans to be 100% renewable by the end of 2014. Corvo has traditionally been totally dependent on non-renewable energy and is aiming for 75% wind and solar energy. RELATIONAL: Use the weblinks to create an action plan for Corvo by learning what Graciosa has done. Analyse the info and make suggestions. Explain how sustainable the plan is. EXTENDED ABSTRACT: As above but also Use the weblinks to evaluate Graciosa’splan – can 100% be achieved? Make a prediction about how successful Corvo may be. Reflect on what can be improved and make recommendations.

  18. e.g. from Resource 25 Tourism trends BRONZE task: Draw a line graph to show the pattern of tourists travelling to the Azores as a whole. Describe and suggest reasons for the pattern of tourism. SILVER task: Compare the seasonality of tourism between islands. Create a chart to show this information & suggest possible reasons for why the pattern exists GOLD task: Represent the data from Figure 2 in a pie chart. Use Figure 3 to create a flow lines map (or even a proportional arrow map) showing origin of tourists. Describe & explain reasons for the pattern.

  19. e.g. using Resource 24 • Whaling was banned in 1986 in the Azores • How do you think this had an impact on the local economy and society? • Which is more sustainable – whale watching or whaling? Why? Discuss.

  20. Example general activities

  21. What’s the connection? Beat the teacher.

  22. How does this office control the future of Sao Miguel?

  23. The same but different: what do Iceland and the Azores have in common, and what is distinctive?

  24. Hotspots: Azores vs Iceland Why can you swim here… …but not here?

  25. Tell me a story about the picture. It must include: a dramatic moment, a hero and a villain, and some ‘heavenly’ words.

  26. Important Diamond 9 1 2 3 6 4 5 8 7 9 Not important

  27. Water management Eutrophication and mineral leaching into lakes. Invasive species. Social responsibility Poor pay and living conditions for construction workers in tourist developments. Renewable energy Geothermal, HEP & wind power contributed 55% of Sao Miguel’s energy 2013. Decline of fishing Fishing was once the main income for the Azores but is in decline, loss of jobs Public transport Parts of the Azores have small roads and limited public transport. Congestion. Marine environment Whaling has now become whale watching. There is potential sea level rise in future. UNESCO Biosphere Reserve European Geopark status, Blue Flag beaches, etc. Urbanisation Only 5% of Azores is urbanised, but increasing pressure to build & develop means resources imported Concerns about waste Increase in tourism will lead to an increase in waste and landfill areas

  28. Links to numeracy BRONZE task: Calculate the percentage variation for the regions between 2002-2011. Which region has increased the amount of accommodation most rapidly? SILVER task: Can you plot this information effectively onto a graph? What is the pattern shown? GOLD task: Can you create this graph in Google Earth? Or locate your own on an annotated map?

  29. Describe the trend.Is developing the Azores for tourism sustainable? Use evidence to explain your answer.

  30. Where are we going? Use map evidence to describe the location of the Azores. How might this link to sustainable tourism?

  34. THUNKS: What is happening here? Sustainable or not? PROVE IT!

  35. Scenario: You are an entrepreneur in the Azores. Portugal is in a recession but you have some options for how to invest your money. You want to ensure your investment is beneficial long-term. You are also under pressure from your family to maintain a quality social experience and natural environment. You must make a decision & justify your choice by linking to S.E.E. sustainability and considering viewpoints. Do you: Develop eco-tourism shelters and encourage camping & hiking in wilderness areas rather than hotels. Introduce a new mass tourism Volcano Tour programme including super-jeeps, helicopter rides, large hotels. Similar to Iceland. Do nothing. Return to your job on the mainland and wait for the economy to improve.
