Understanding of concepts example
Example question Unit 1:
Identify the main geographical factors that have resulted in blackberry invasion at this site
![Page 8: VCE Geography 2016-2020 Implementation workshop. Overview Introduction to the study design and advice for teachers Fieldwork Activity.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110322/56649d305503460f94a08c30/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example response
The site is located 200 metres south of a residential area that was farming land prior to the 1920s. Birds and possums distributed blackberry seeds from nearby land when using the native trees or creek at the site after feeding on blackberries planted in gardens. Prior to refrigeration it was common for houses to grow vegetables and fruit. The density of blackberry bushes is higher than sites 500 metres further downstream where regular flooding interferes with the establishment of the bushes.

Concepts and Unit planning
Begin with the theme of the unit and introductions to units and areas of study
Consider the relationship between the key knowledge, key skills and the cross study specifications
Consider assessments Shape teaching and learning activities to
reflect this relationship
