Use of Concept Map in Teaching S4-5 Geography Curriculum Presented by Linda Lam Buddhist Tai Hung College What are our new focuses? Inductive teaching (think critically and logically through interactive activities, make value clarification and judgment) Issue-based approach (problem solving skills) Integrated approach (concepts with tight lessons linkage) Lesson 1 How does famine affect the people in the world? Organizing idea: Famine is a severe kind of food shortage that causes the deaths of many people in less developed countries, especially in central and southern Africa. Activities: Photos interpretation, video interpretation, newspaper clips interpretation Lesson 2 and 3 Why are famines frequently happening in less developed countries but not in developed countries?

People’s ability to obtain food in the world is determined by the level of development of their country. Activities: Simulation game (Millionaire VS. Hunger), locate countries on the “Model of African Map” Lesson 4 Why does famine happen in Ethiopia? Organizing idea: Taking Ethiopia as a case study, causes of famine in this country can be examined and these factors are divided into two categories --- physical and human-induced Activities: Newspaper interpretation, data interpretation and analysis Lesson 5 How do climatic factors affect Ethiopia?

(Experiment: Which location on earth is warmer?) Organizing idea: The insolation on the earth’s surface is unevenly distributed that causes a surplus and deficit energy budget in dif
