Geography Case Study
NEOM is a planned urban development in north-west Saudi Arabia
When completed it will cover 26,500 km² which is larger than the whole of Wales
Why does Saudi Arabia want to build Neom?
Why is the Huwaitat tribe extremely worried?
Abdul Rahim al-Hwaiti: terrorist or martyr?
This resource includes a variety of lesson activities to pick and choose:
Photographic Analysis: The Line (includes worksheet)
Which Geography keyword is the odd one out?

Concept Map: Neom (35 facts, to be colour coded - Locations; Causes; Effects; Management; Supporting Data
Illustrated glossary: Neom (Peak Oil; Economic diversification; Population density; Desalination plant) - definitions given, students to draw their understanding
Thought Chains: Neom - using knowledge learned so far, students complete boxes (because⌠and so⌠Therefore⌠For exampleâŚ) to show understanding using scaffolding for higher level answers (eg âSaudi Arabia needs to DIVERSIFY its industriesâŚâ; âThe region currently has a POPULATION DENSITY of just 6 people per km²â; âNeom is / is not ENVIRONMENTALLY sustainable
(âPlanetâ)âŚâ)
Geo-Trinity: Neom - students show similarities and differences between the Saudi government, Huwaitat tribespeople and foreign tourists
âSix Hatsâ: Neom: - de Bonoâs critical thinking technique
Design a sustainable hotel for Neom - choose five (from twenty-four) features of a sustainable resort, then explain the decision (eg eShuttle buses between the hotel and public transportation hubs; Install âsmartâ showers that limit their usage to a pre-set time; Stock locally-made Fair Trade hotel souvenirs rather than branded/designer items)
Stakeholders conclusion: Neom - students compare different opinions of the development with their own

Two part fieldwork/coursework booklet
Made with the 2016 GCSE syllabus changes in mind
Follows Footsteps to Investigation (Hypothesis; Expected Outcomes; Methodology; Results; Analysis; Conclusion; Evaluation) plus the chance to write a simple risk assessment for the trip
Part One: COASTAL investigation to answer the hypothesis "Hornsea needs sea defences"
Includes destructive/constructive waves; beach cross section; annotated landscape sketch; tally chart; angle data chart
Part Two: ECONOMIC investigation to answer the hypothesis "Tourism is important for Hornsea"
Includes: Land use survey; bipolar landscape evaluation; visitor questionnaire; sphere of influence; cumulative frequency graph; bar graph; pie graph; Butler's Model
Each page is set up so there is room to add revision notes. The idea is that each page contains one case study so that exam revision can be condensed and is hopefully generic enough for any schoolâs chosen case studies. Topics are straight from the AQA syllabusâŚ
