Lesson objectives All should make some simple connections between the pieces of information to provide a response to the mystery question. Most should be able to classify and link some of the information to provide a more sophisticated response to the mystery question. Some can evaluate the information, prioritise their relative importance and reach a meaningful conclusion based upon the evidence. © www. teachitgeography. co. uk 2018 30660 2

Modelling the exercise: an example of how to use the information. “Are sinkholes becoming more common because of climate change – are they happening in other parts of the country, will more happen in Ripon? ” 7. The sinkhole is the latest in a spate to appear after a 35 ft wide and 20 ft deep one also appeared on a Saturday morning under homes in a quiet cul-de-sac in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. “We could classify these statements under a heading such as long term impacts. Let’s see if we can find other statements that belong to this category, then try and link the information together” © www. teachitgeography. co. uk 2018 30660 10. It is believe catastrophic collapses will become more regular in the city due to climate change. 5
Developing your formal response to the mystery question. Once you have gathered the evidence, start to answer the mystery question formally. You could use the following framework to help you: 1. Introduction (What is happening in Ripon and elsewhere? ) 2. The main factors responsible for sinkholes appearing (refer to any categories/classifications/links). 3. Other factors involved (evaluate their importance relative to the main factors). 4. Conclusions (What might happen in the future? How can this issue be managed more effectively? ) © www. teachitgeography. co. uk 2018 30660 6
