Liveability - Introduction

This is book is Chapters 1 and 2 and photo credits as students with older iPads experienced performance issues with Chapter 1 in the full book.  I am publishing this title as a separate title to overcome performance issues students experienced on the older iPads.  


I have written this book to engage students in Geography.  My aim in writing this book is to support student learning in my classroom and others, to enhance teaching and learning through the use of technology and to support the delivery of the Year 7 Geography Australian curriculum.   The focus of this book is the Geographical study of Place and liveability for year 7 students.


Place and liveability focuses on the concept of place through an investigation of liveability. This unit examines factors that influence liveability and how it is perceived.  It develops students’ ability to evaluate the liveability of their own place and to investigate whether place and liveability can be improved through planning or finding other solutions.
