As a geographical concept, Place is fundamental to how we think about ourselves and our world.

Place

Quick Questions (answer in a new DOC in your shared Google Drive: call it Place – Quick Questions)
Name 10 places (can be country, city, suburb, building, park etc)
What word/s do you immediately think of when you hear this place (eg Adelaide Oval – cricket; Glenelg – beach; Antarctica – penguins, Grandma’s house – cheesecake etc.) Label each as ‘positive’, ‘negative’ or ‘neutral’ depending on how you think about it (Grandma’s cheesecake = positive!)

List as much as you can think of for each of these places:
New York, London, Tokyo, Germany, Russia, Sudan, China, Indonesia, Melbourne
What is similar for all/many of these?
How is it different to what you know about Adelaide?
What sorts of factors determine someone’s feeling about a place? Could different people feel completely different about the same place? How/why? Give an example.

Do these feelings about place determine how we interact with them?

Would you love to travel to any of those places above? Would you not travel to any? Why/ not?

If you have time, start this – otherwise we will do it tomorrow

Activity – do this as a New Doc in your shared Google Drive (call it “Place – Around the world trip”). 

You have won an around the world trip to 20 destinations anywhere in the world for you and 3 others. (You should take parent/s and sibling/s as first priority – if you are an only child, then you can take a friend (an actual friend – name them).) Each person should have at least 5 destinations that they are excited to go to (eg Dad is NOT excited about shopping anywhere) – there can be multiple people

For each destination, you need to:

1. Name the place
2. Provide photo/s and
3. a short explanation of why you chose it (should include who is excited to go there and why)

Create a map (eg Google mymaps, or other is ok) and tag each place. Insert the map to your page.

Factual
How do people perceive places?
How do people connect to different people and places?
How does trade connect people and places?

Conceptual
Who wins and loses in a globalised world?
How important is the formation of networks in a globalised world?

Debatable
Can the action of one person change the world?
Are people are more concerned with about cheap consumer goods than labour exploitation?

Submission for both classes is tomorrow (Friday 16 October)
DEWHIRST: by recess
POPE: at start of class

A reminder that ideally all tasks 1-6 are on your ‘Art as Protest’ powerpoint which we began the unit with. This includes your response to #6 where possible.

Some people have created physical artworks – please indicate in your powerpoint at the end of your 300 words (eg “See painting / poster / sculpture etc”)

Reference to research and authoritative sources is good!
