Revision S'Cool and Session 4

Revision S'Cool

There will be a Geography session during this day. The intention is to focus on: -

• Answering a 6 mark question based on a cartoon.
• Annotated sketches.
• General Revision techniques.
• Tips on how to achieve a high grade in Geography.

If you would like to cover anything else, please let me know and I will see what I can do.

Session 4

Session 4 is available to anyone who wants it on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. All I ask is that you let me know you are coming and that you give me some indication about what you would like to go over. This is so I can prepare materials for you to make sure you get the most out of the session.

Homework over Easter Half Term

MP's Geography group

Over the 2 weeks of half term you should be revising the physical systems module and revieiwing your notes for the economic systems module. I expect you to be completing the following tasks: -

1. In the Physical Systems revision booklet, complete the questions from 2004 and 2006. These questions have been chosen as they cover some material we have not been able to revise during lessons, so it is important that you cover this.
2. In lessons you have completed a number of case study reviews. Look at the list of case studies for physical systems and make sure that you have a summary sheet for each one.

I will expect these to be completed over the half term holiday. Exam questions can be completed on paper and handed to me for marking in the first lesson back.
