3 Key Topic Knowledge Syrian Case Study This map shows Syria s location within the Middle East and shows actions taken during the Arab Spring of The Arab Spring was a period of violent and nonviolent uprisings and protests among Arab and nearby nations. This started in the winter of 2010 and in some countries has calmed whilst continued to get worse in others, such as Syria Causes and Impacts of the Syrian Conflict Causes Impacts Syrian students painted anti-government graffiti on walls.

4 Key Topic Knowledge Ranking of the 10 Largest Syrian Refugee Hosting Countries (2017) Most Syrian refugees have fled to countries close to Syria. Approximately 1 million refugees have fled to Europe with the UK hosting 10,000 as of April Most flee to nearby countries as they cannot afford to travel further or wish to stay close to home. Key Words Conflict a serious incompatibility between two or more opinions, principles, or interests. Refugee a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. Asylum seeker a person who has left their home country as a political refugee and is seeking asylum in another. Illegal immigrant a migrant that enters or stays in a country without legal permission. Blood diamond A diamond mined in a conflict/war zone and sold to raise money, often to fund conflict. Child Soldier anyone under the age of 18 recruited to either fight or support an armed group. This covers a variety of job roles. Forced displacement people that are forced from their homes by war, persecution or natural disasters. This can include refugees and asylum seekers. Food insecurity - lacking reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. Famine extreme scarcity of food. Malnutrition a lack of proper nutrition, either caused by a lack of quantity of food or variety required to support a healthy body. GMO genetically modified organism. Any organism with modified genetic material, usually to produce increase food production and resilience to climate/pests. NIMBY Not in my back yard. A person who objects to the siting of something perceived as unpleasant or hazardous in their own neighbourhood, especially while raising no such objections to similar developments elsewhere. Renewable energy energy from a source that is not depleted when used such as wind or solar power. Stakeholder a person with an interest or concern in something. Water surplus water inputs (rain/rivers) exceeds water consumption. Water deficit water inputs (rain/rivers) is below the amount consumed by people leading to there not being enough water locally. Dam a barrier constructed to hold back water and raise its level, forming a reservoir used to generate electricity or as a water supply. Optimism hopefulness and confidence about the future or the success of something. Pessimism a tendency to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen. Pirate someone who attacks and robs ships at sea.
5 Evaluate the positive and negative impacts of Syrian refugees living in the UK. Accepting Syrian refugees into the UK is a moral and legal responsibility that comes with a variety of positive and negative consequences. Refugees that are able to work in other countries like the UK can provide a significant economic benefit through working in jobs that we either lack skilled people for (such as nurses and engineers) or in less skilled work where there is a shortage of people (such as farm labourers). As refugees that reach the UK are often the most motivated and ablebodied within the communities that they left they often want to support their families and typically have much lower unemployment rates than native-born people. This means that migrant and refugee groups can often provide a greater benefit to the UK economy. The UK is an inclusive society and encourages sharing of culture and values from other countries. Refugees such as those from Syria bring with them unique culture such as food, clothing and musical influences that enriches our own. This makes the UK a diverse society and is enjoyed by most once naturalised into the British way of life. However providing homes, medical care and education for so many people provides significant social and economic challenges. House prices are rising rapidly across the UK due to a deficit and we already lack enough trained doctors and nurses to provide for the people that live in the UK already. Adding thousands of new people to this will strain the system further meaning poorer medical care, longer travel to schools and less disposable income due to house prices for people in the UK. Overall I feel that refugees moving to the UK is a very positive thing. Providing a safe haven for people that desperately need it can also benefit us in the UK if the government can address the needs of the people. Successes Provides arguments showing positives and negatives. Links back to the question frequently. Provides compelling arguments with an introduction that outlines the key point and a conclusion that summarises the overall view. Areas for Improvement Lacks evidence. Each point should be supported by data. The conclusion should develop a new point based on the evidence provided. The argument should be balanced if possible with equal weighting for both sides of the debate.
6 Homework 1: Spelling Test Practice the spelling of these 10 key words. Use each key word accurately in a sentence and bring your sentences to lesson. If you are unsure of the meaning of the key word use a definition as your sentence. Immigrant Conflict Malnutrition Renewable Energy Genetically modified Water surplus Water deficit Famine Stakeholder Choropleth Homework 2: Case study research Research and create a profile of Heathrow Runway 3 land conflict in the UK. 1) What is the government planning to allow at Heathrow? 2) What would the potential benefits be to the UK? 3) What would the negative impacts of a third runway at Heathrow be? 4) Explain whether you think that the decision to allow a third runway at Heathrow is the best decision. Use evidence from both sides in your argument. Please ask for support if you need it. If you do not have access to printers you can complete this work by hand. Please ensure that it is well presented. Homework 3 Revision for Mid Unit Assessment Complete a starter and a main from the revision take-away menu provided by your teacher. This revision is in preparation for the mid unit assessment.
7 Homework 4 Comprehension Task Search for CFR Global Conflict Tracker and visit the top website. Interact with the map and explore the options available. You can click on individual conflicts to find out more about each of these conflicts including some of those studied in class so this may be useful for revision about key conflicts. 1) Describe the pattern of distribution shown on at least one of the maps. Use the main home screen map if you are unsure. 2) Are all types of conflict shown on this map? Why? Homework 5 Geographical Skills Practice 1) Draw a bar graph to show the top ten refugee origin countries for Challenge - draw one graph that shows data from both 1990 and ) Describe the graph that you have shown. What do these countries have in common? Ensure that you include data in your answer. Challenge describe the change over time. If there are any anomalies research what might have caused those anomalies (e.g. why doesn't South Sudan have a figure for 1990?) Homework 6 Revision for End of Unit Assessment Complete a starter, a main and a dessert from the revision take-away menu provided by your teacher. This revision is in preparation for the end of unit assessment.
