Year 8: Land Use in Leeds




-sorry Year 11, this isn't for you!



These are the transects:
Transect One: Along the A58 from Wetherby via Collingham, Bardsey, Slaid Hill,Easterly Road area, Harehills to Leeds City Centre.
Transect Two: Along A64 (York Road) from the A1 (Bramham crossroads), via Seacroft, Cross Gates, Killingbeck, Burmantofts to Leeds City Centre.
Transect Three:From Harewood, along the A61, Alwoodly, Moor Allerton, Chapel Allerton, Chapletown to Leeds City Centre.
Transect Four: From Bramhope, along A669, via Adel, Weetwood and Headingley to Leeds City Centre.
Transect Five: From Menston, along A65, via Guiseley, Horseforth and Kirkstall to Leeds City Centre.
Transect Six: From Stanningley, via Pudsey, then A645 to Wortley & Armley to Leeds City Centre.
Transect Seven: A6110 from Morley via Churwell and Beeston to Leeds City centre
Transect Eight: A639 from Oulton via Hunslet to Leeds City Centre.

For your transect produce a series of PowerPoint slides. Each slide should be a 'collage' of pictures, call outs, adverts ........ showing the land use of a location along the route. The call outs may contain some facts & figures. Adverts could include adverts for shops in the location. The pictures should represent a range of land use including roads, parks, houses & industries as well as shops and services. You may wish to add text in the form of newspaper headlines.

The following websites may be useful (in addition to 'googling' the place name -add 'Leeds' after the name):
Yorkshire Post
Wetherby News
Up my street
Leeds City Council
BBC Where I live -Leeds
I will put a link to this post in the side bar.
