Description
Teaching
in
geography
could
be
about
geographical
conditions
and
spatial
awareness,
and
also
about
the
interaction
between
people,
society
and
nature.
One
possible
way
to
teach
about
this
is
to
focus
on
vulnerable
areas.
Focus
will
be
on
risks
and
threats,
for
example
flooding,
drought
and
earthquakes.
The
students/pupils
will
develop
knowledge
that
can
help
them
identify
vulnerable
areas
and
also
with
reasoning
about
reducing
risks
for
individuals,
groups
and
society.
For
example,
for
people
living
near
the
coastline
it
can
be
vulnerable
to
have
a
house
near
the
coastline
in
some
places
because
your
home
can
be
affected
by
a
rising
see
level
and/or
a
declining
coastline.
Causes
and
consequences
can
differ
and
are
related
to
the
interaction
between
society,
individuals
and
nature.
Questions
to
think
more
about
are:
What
does
vulnerable
areas
mean?
What
makes
a
vulnerable
area
vulnerable?
In
the
following
map
you
can
see
a
speculation
about
what
would
happen
if
all
the
ice
on
land
would
melt.
The
melting
ice
can
create
vulnerable
areas
but
at
the
same
time
people
and
society
stimulate
a
faster
melting
process
through
global
warming
problems.
The
interaction
between
society,
individuals
and
nature
gets
visible.

Discussion
For
this
example
one
has
have
to
learn
about
natural
processes
and
the
interactions
with
human
activities.
This,
I
think,
is
something
that
the
pupils
wouldnt
get
experience
of
outside
school.
Of
course,
both
the
teacher
and
the
pupils
can
have
direct
experiences
of
different
natural
hazards
but
not
in
the
sense
that
I
am
aiming
at
in
this
example.
The
natural
processes
and
the
interactions
with
human
activities
are
connected
to
systems
of
thoughts
that
the
pupils
need
to
learn
to
get
the
full
picture.
Pupils
can
get
powerful
knowledge
in
geography
and
learn
to
understand
and
make
analyses
of
the
world.
They
can
do
this
by
using
geographical
sources,
theories
and
methods.
