9-10. Assessment 2: Planning the Fieldtrip

Activity 1 - What is the final assessment?


Activity Tasks
  1. What is your end of unit assessment about? Download and read this Common Assessment Task (CAT) sheet and examine this brochure template.
  2. Read the instructions then explain to your partner what you think you will have to do to complete this assessment. 
  3. Now read the mark-scheme. Note down 4-6 things you will need to do to get a high level for this assessment. 
  4. In your groups of four, discuss the assessment and decide which type of tourism each of your will examine:
    1. Heritage and Culture
    2. Food and Shopping
    3. Sports and Adventure
    4. Nature and Wildlife

Activity 2 - How can we collect field data?


Activity Tasks
  1. As part of your assessment, you will need to complete this Action Plan to record all your research information. Read the Action Plan, then make a copy of it and share with your group.
  2. Then with your group, divide a piece of paper into four parts. Then brainstorm the following questions in each section:
    1. What do we need to know to complete the project?
    2. What suggestions do we have for finding information out?
    3. What are we excited about?
    4. What are we worried about?​
  3. Now review this Fieldwork Data Capture Sheet. Each group member will fill in this sheet for each attraction they find.
  4. Reminder: You can only investigate attractions on your island within the boundaries set on the maps to your right --> You cannot go outside those zones!

Activity 3 - Researching Attractions


Activity Tasks
  1. Initial Research - Use these links to research tourist attractions on your island and put the names of the top five attractions for your type of tourism on the Action Plan under Step 2.
  2. Discuss - As a group, let each person discuss the five attractions they have found out, and chose two of the best attractions to focus on for your project. Highlight these in a different colour on the Action Plan.
  3. Further Research - Now you need to research details and information about your two best attractions. Refer to the note-taking tips on the right and write your notes in the 'Secondary Research' boxes on your Action Plans.
Picture

Activity 4 - Planning a walking route


Activity Tasks
  1. Next you need to plot a route around the island. Use Google MyMaps to place a marker for each of the eight attractions on your island. Give each marker a name identifying the attraction.
  2. Now use the ‘draw a line’ feature to draw a walking route around the island, making sure to connect each attraction. Remember to start and end your route at the main ferry pier.
  3. Finally, share your map with your group and take a screenshot of the finished route map and save the image file. Print out your completed route map and bring along with you next week on the field-trip.

Activity 5 - How can we interview people?


Activity Tasks
  1. As part of your research for each attraction, you will need to try and interview a tourist or someone working at the attraction to find out why they think people should visit, recording what they say on your Data Capture Sheets.
  2. Examine the examples of good and bad questions on the right, then design 3-5 interview questions you could ask about your attraction. 
  • Introductions
  • Bad Questions
  • Good Questions
  • Tips
<
>
"Excuse me I am a student from Island School Hong Kong, please could you spare a couple of minutes to answer some questions about... this tourist attraction / this island..."
"Why is this tourist attraction so good?"

"What's so special about this place?"
"What do you think is the main reason why people should come to visit this attraction?"

"What words would you use to describe the .... of this tourist attraction?"

"If you could take one picture of this tourist attraction, what would it be?"
Remember, the purpose of the interview is to find out persuasive reasons why people should visit the tourist attraction - think about questions that will help you find out the views of other people.

Another reason is to find out good words and adjectives you could use to describe your attraction.

Lastly, you want to try and find ideas for possible icons - could you ask people what images or objects might best represent that attraction in a digital icon?

Activity 6 - Taking good photographs


Activity Tasks
  1. Review these website links to find tips on improving your photography. You will need to take a photo of each tourist attraction you visit:
    1. https://petapixel.com/2014/01/24/40-tips-take-better-photos/
    2. https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/good-pictures-phone-tips
    3. https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/explore/tips-tricks/
  2. If you have time, go around school with a partner and try and take a great picture of: a view, a building, and a person. Share your photos with the class.
