Teaching about the Azoresfreeresources 24. e.g. Resource 23 -Categorisingcard sort-Locating ontomap / GIS-Holidayplanning-Evaluatingpotentialimpact of eachactivity 25. e.g. from Resource 15BACKGROUNDGraciosa plans to be 100% renewable by the endof 2014. Corvo has traditionally been totallydependent on non-renewable energy and is aimingfor 75% wind and solar energy.RELATIONAL: Use the weblinks to create an action plan forCorvo by learning what Graciosa has done. Analyse the infoand make suggestions. Explain how sustainable the plan is.EXTENDED ABSTRACT: As above but alsoUse the weblinks to evaluate Graciosas plan can 100%be achieved? Make a prediction about how successfulCorvo may be. Reflect on what can be improved and makerecommendations. 26. e.g. from Resource 27What are the challenges that lie ahead iftourism in the Azores is to be sustainable? Create a mockumentary about tourism in the Azores. Clarify what sustainable means. Refer to S.E.E. Consider different social groups and their view points research their views and interview them Consider the impact of increased travel & transport to theAzores if tourism increases Consider the infrastructure of the island: roads, electricity,accommodation, services, guides and suggest how thesewill cope with increased tourism 27. e.g. from Resource 25 Tourism trendsBRONZE task: Draw a linegraph to show the patternof tourists travelling to theAzores as a whole.Describe and suggestreasons for the pattern oftourism.SILVER task: Compare theseasonality of tourismbetween islands. Create achart to show thisinformation & suggestpossible reasons for whythe pattern existsGOLD task: Represent thedata from Figure 2 in a piechart. Use Figure 3 to createa flow lines map (or even aproportional arrow map)showing origin of tourists.Describe & explain reasonsfor the pattern. 28. Whats the connection? Beat theteacher. 29. e.g. using Resource 24 Whaling was bannedin 1986 in the Azores How do you think thishad an impact on thelocal economy andsociety? Which is moresustainable whalewatching or whaling?Why? Discuss. 30. How doesthis officecontrol thefuture of SaoMiguel? 31. The same but different: what doIceland and the Azores have incommon, and what is distinctive? 32. Hotspots: Azores vs IcelandWhy can you swimherebut not here? 33. Review of the trip - jodebens.com 34. Example general activities 35. Do nowSuggest how this image links to sustainability /tourism. Think, pair, share. 36. Tell me a story about the picture.It must include: a dramatic moment, a hero and avillain, and some heavenly words. 37. 12 3Diamond 94 5 67 89ImportantNot important 38.

Which is more sustainable?Place each letter on the appropriate section of the Venn Diagram. Be prepared todefend your placement. Which would you choose? Justify.A. Trees are planted around Lagode Furnas. This creates habitatsand creates a source of quickgrowing timber that can be used forwood pulp. In addition, the treesintercept more precipitationtherefore reducing eutrophication.B. A huge dam is created in a rivervalley above the lake. The villagewill have to be flooded andresidents will be compensated andoffered homes in a nearby town.The reservoir behind the dam willcreate recreational opportunitiesand can create HydroelectricPower.C. Any building development isbanned on the flood plain,restricting the settlementseconomic growth.D. Local farmland is drained andpurchased by the LandscapeLaboratory. This reduces watermovement to the lake & use offertiliser but there is a highmaintenance cost and farmers mustbe compensate. 41. Can you design a sustainable solution for the Azores?Scenario: You are a city planner for Sao Miguel, Azores. There has been anincrease in tourism and in 2014 more than 36000 tourists visited. 59% of theAzorean population live on Sao Miguel already. You must produce an islandtourism plan and a report (presentation) to argue the case for how to ensurethe island has a sustainable future. Taking into account the needs of theenvironment, economy and society.Consider:- The weather and climate (how will the island and itsbuildings cope?)- Energy efficiency- Waste reduction- Appealing to local and visiting public- Financial costs (E.U. funding)Ensure you:- Tackle the issues that currently cause a problem- Identify strategies for sustainable development- Explain sustainability- Compare to real places 42.

The Azores is developinggeothermal energy where over 65% of energy onSao Miguel is created, which bringsenvironmental benefit & provides jobs.e.g. The Azores is similar to Iceland in that it isattempting to be sustainable through creatingrenewable energy, reducing the use of non-renewablesources, and developing a long-termincome from tourism. I predict that in future thegrowth of tourism will bring jobs and income,however the impact of increased flights on theenvironment globally is a problemIncreasingly complex answers..Describe & explain sustainability in theAzorese.g.EDCBA 58.
