| Week | SOW outcome | Enquiry | Independent product | Cumulative disciplinary move |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| W9 | Use an atlas and grid references to describe location. | How can a grid reference make a location precise without pretending a map shows everything? | Use the printed River Tees rehearsal grid and one teacher-approved atlas/map. Record locations with grid evidence, write a relative-location sentence, then identify one limitation of the representation. | Use index, key, four-figure reference and relative direction accurately. |
| W10 | Describe how communities are connected across the world. | How can maps and sources show connections without reducing a community to one route or statistic? | Build a Teesside connection profile using at least two connection types. Add locations, a route/medium, evidence, one possible local effect and a limitation. Use fictional/composite people unless an individual independently opts into a personal route. | Explain a connection chain using mapped and source evidence plus a limit. |
| W11 | Investigate festivals of light around the world. | How do place, movement and community shape where a festival is celebrated—without making faith equal nationality? | Create a three-case festival geography board. For each case: plot one example location or global-reach statement, record meaning/practice from the named source, and add a variation/limitation label. No personal faith disclosure is required. | Map two festival examples and explain meaning, practice, reach and one variation. |
| W12 | Compare how two communities celebrate. | How can we compare celebrations accurately while protecting difference within each community? | Compare two approved source accounts through one shared lens. Produce a similarity, difference, evidence on both sides, belonging connection and one scope limitation. A third-person or source-based route is the default. | Use two named sources to explain a meaningful similarity and difference with qualification. |
| W13 | Present findings on belief and belonging. | How can I communicate a careful map-and-source finding so an audience can restate it accurately? | Prepare and deliver a 60–90 second Belonging Briefing to the named audience. Include claim, mapped example, two source details, comparison or explanation, limitation and one evidence-led resource/access recommendation. | Link claim, map, two sources, qualification and belonging for a named audience. |
| W14 | Complete a belief-and-belonging task and map-skills check; evidence may be banked only through centre verification. | How securely can I use map and source evidence to explain belief and belonging independently? | Complete the printed Map & Belonging Challenge independently. Use only the approved assessment map, source cards and pre-agreed access route. Staff record exact support; do not improve work after pens-down. | Independently link accurate map, comparison, evidence, belonging and limitation. |

## Non-negotiable controls

- Constructed maps/cards are labelled and never presented as authentic archives, official maps, census evidence or faith-community testimony.
- Source records show creator, date, repository, reference, rights/use, adaptation status, enquiry use and limitation.
- Personal/family migration or faith disclosure is optional; fictional/composite and public-source routes are equally valued.
- Stretch uses perspective, scale, counterexample, limitation and transfer—not more writing.
- Evidence loop: Enquiry → Elicit → Interpret → Respond → Revisit.
- Response branches: secure, mixed, shared misconception, access barrier, method/data problem. Record one next teaching move only.
- W14 uses pre-agreed access only once assessed evidence starts; no model answer or retrospective improvement.
- Descriptive AQA UAS labels in the SOW are not unit codes. Candidate status requires exact centre verification.
