- Types of environmental change
- Natural versus human-induced change
- Climate change and its impacts
NSW Geography Stage 5 (Year 10) concepts - environmental change and management, globalisation, geographical inquiry - expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Geography Year 10” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.
How environments change, who is responsible, and which management approaches actually work.
The world economy as a system of flows, and the winners and losers it produces.
Doing geography: question, method, data, analysis and a defensible conclusion.
A Geography Year 10 paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| analyse | Short answer | 3–5 |
| describe | Short answer | 2–3 |
| discuss | Extended response | 4–6 |
| explain | Short answer | 3–4 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
Year 10 Assessment Task Shape — 50 marks, 75 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
