 * ONE COPY TO ME BY EMAIL. I SHOULD RECEIVE IT BY MIDNIGHT!**


 * Hope it all went well Dr Lee ; )**


 * Geography Prep 3 November 2016**

Continue with your geography projects using the feedback you have been given. You should be finishing them off.

You have now finished the whole geography syllabus. As you know the geography syllabus is quite new and there are not many past papers for your specification, so you will be given some older papers to look at. The main difference is that there used to be a section on 'environment,' which has not been replaced by considering the environment through all parts of the course. Also, there are new topics - Population and Settlement and Transport that do not exist in the old papers.
 * Geography Holiday Work**

For the break, have a look at and do the following paper. Don't bother with the mapping question. You can do the paper with your textbook. Try to write answers which will score full marks. We will go through them in class sometime after half term.



Although you handed in what you have done to me today, you can still work on and embellish your project, just submit an addition to me tomorrow. Remember that your Data Analysis needs to be very rich with ideas and questions and answers that address your key question. You should look at it and go 'Wow!' (For good reasons and not bad ones!) If everything is done, remember that after your Data Analysis is your Conclusion which should very clearly and fairly simply answer your key questions - one by one - connecting your answers to the analysis you did. After this comes your evaluation, a simple statement of how the report could have been better and what other research it might possibly lead to. Then your appendix should contain for Tourism: a copy of the questionnaire and for Rivers: a copy of your data sheets ie the ones you wrote the data on in the field.
 * Geography Prep Thu 20 October 2016**

You should now be making good progress with your data analysis. Make sure you look at the guide notes carefully. You really need to think hard and write analytically here.
 * Geography Lesson Thu 13 October 2016**

Look at the kind of thing you should be labelling your graphs with here:



I will be back on Monday and next week we will ready your projects for me to take in for half term. I will give you feedback on your work then and we can polish them off after half term.

Prep: Work towards finishing your projects. Questions to me by email.

You should be working on your data analysis now. Make sure you are asking questions such as: Why is this graph as it is? What is unusual or unexpected about this graph and why? What other evidence might I provide which might help me answer my key question/s using this graph? What trends can be seen in this graph? What can I learn about what is going on using the information in this graph? What might explain anything unexpected in this graph? If you're not asking these questions, you're not doing this section right! Email me any questions.
 * Geography Lesson Friday 7 October**

Work through your Data Presentation and Data Analysis. You should be getting ready to have a draft of this ready.
 * Geography Lesson and Prep Thursday 6 October 2016**

Write up your Data Presentation. This should include 3 tables and or graphs. There should be at least two and preferably more different kinds of showing data, ie pie chart, stacked bar chart, table etc.
 * Geography Prep Thursday 29 September 2016**

If you are doing the tourism project, the data is not quite ready. Build your tables and graphs using the incomplete data. Once the new data is ready you can update it. By then you will have everything in place.

Write up the methodology section of your project. Remember you need lots of diagrams and photographs in this section. Words in diagrams and maps do not count in the word count.
 * Geography Prep Thursday 22 September 2016**

Work on your Title Page and Introduction (this includes key questions, location details and map). Print it out in the proper format, using 12 point font, and a simple straightforward font like Avenir, Times, Palatino, Calibri.
 * Geography Prep Wednesday 14 September 2016**

Bring your work to class.


 * LAST YEAR'S STUFF! (NOTHING FOR YOU HERE)**


 * Geography Prep Wed 25 May 2016**

Use tonight's prep as an opportunity to focus your revision on an area in which you think you are weak. Bring questions about this section into the next lesson.


 * Geography Prep Wed 18 May 2016**

At the end of each chapter in the green revision book there is a section called Make Sure You Know, and another called Test Yourself. Go through the Make Sure You Know, section in each chapter and make sure you know. I will give you a quiz next lesson.


 * Geography Prep Wed 11 May 2016 as below.**


 * Review the following and answer the questions below: Yes JI this means you too! And last week's prep too.**



1. How would you devise a test to show the speed at which long shore drift is occurring. (6 marks)

Also look up on the internet to see Calshot Spit, and Spurn Head. Learn their locations.



Explain what role gravity plays in the water cycle. (6 mark question).


 * 4 May 2016**

In class we looked at writing good answers for longer mark questions. For prep I have set just one eight mark question. I want you to answer it perfectly. Use any resources you like. I want you to earn 8 golden shiny marks for the question. It is a 35 minute prep!


 * Using a case study you have studied and which you should name explain why there might be so many people at risk when a volcano erupts. Part of your explanation needs to address why there may be so many people living near the volcano.**


 * 28 April**


 * Revise global locations.**


 * Geography Revision Material - Easter Vacation**

Can be found on the Sixth Form Page, which is above the form list in the Menu bar on the right.


 * Geography Prep 9 March 2016**

Your geography prep is of course to revise. I have looked over the paper and I think it is a fair one. Even if the jet stream question is a little tricky (bonus for those who bothered to check their prep).

In the meantime have a look at this. It is a statement about policing practices in different parts of the country.

media type="youtube" key="kxcWtCopXpI" width="560" height="315"

Good luck with your exams!


 * Geography Prep 24 February 2016**

There will be a case study test next lesson. The case study test will ask you typical CE case study questions, one from each unit of work. George, Sholto, George, James: Work on your projects but also try to be ready for this test (it's revision anyway so you should know the material). Revise from the blue book and or the green book.


 * Geography Prep 3 February 2016**

Answer the following questions in your books. Use your textbook. Aim to get them 100% correct.

1) The impact of earthquakes often depends on the time and day on which they strike. Using your knowledge of an earthquake explain how the time and/or day might have had an impact on the impact of an earthquake. (6 marks)

2) Using real examples explain what measures might have been taken to reduce the impact of earthquakes in particular regions. (6 marks)

3) Make sure you learn your global locations. Ten question test. 100% pass mark expected.

Look at this. Not on the syllabus but interesting (frightening).

And to lighten up the tone...




 * Geography Prep 27 January 2016**

Look through the internet to find information about the floods in the UK recently. Make a short case study on paper detailing what happened, where the floods were, what caused them, what damage was caused and how the damage was minimised or how it could have been more minimised. Include maps and photographs. Be ready to glue into your books, which will be given to you next lesson.

 * Read the chapter in your textbooks on Weather and Climate.**


 * Geography Projects Due on Monday 9 November. **

1) If you are having any difficulty. Email me. I should be online most of the weekend.

2) Do not get any help with your projects. No parental assistance. No tutor assistance. This causes a big difficulty and is easy to detect. If detected I am obliged to advise your Public School and mark your project down heavily.

3) If your project is not adequate when I mark it, I will have you work on areas that need attention before it is submitted. So long as you are prepared to follow advice at this point you should not be left with a poor project.

 * General Feedback Sheet.**


 * Geography Prep for Wednesday 21 October**


 * You have been given detailed feedback on your geography project. A final copy is due on Monday 9 November.**


 * Geography Prep for Wednesday 14 October**

Complete your draft of your geography project. Have it printed ready tomorrow ideally. Ready to hole punch and put neatly into a YELLOW folder, which I will provide.

Remember to hole punch carefully. Too high and it will stick out the top, too low and it will look silly. The hole punch has little measuring arms. Use them! Also make sure the pages are all the way into the hole punch. Amazing how something as simple as a hole punch can thwart a 12/13 year old boy! ; )

 * Geography Prep for Wednesday 7 October**

lWork on your geography project. You should be getting towards the end of your data analysis now. I will expect a first draft of your whole project of Friday of next week.

Look at this document.


 * Geography Prep for Wednesday 23 September**

Complete the Data Presentation section of your project and hand it in tomorrow.


 * Geography Prep for week beginning 14 September 2015**

You need to finish and hand in your title page, table of contents, key questions, introduction and methodology. This should be printed on A4, with your Title Page on the front which has your name on it.

I have also rebuilt the tourism data set, and I have joined up to BatchGeo Pro. I also made a movie showing you how to

To review

1) Copy Title Page from page in guide. Copy it exactly substituting your own school in place of the placeholder, your own name, and the title of your own project.

2) Table of contents. Copy and past the table of contents from the guide. You can find this on the project pages on the Wikispace with the key documents. You don't have to add the page numbers yet, because you haven't finished your project.

3) Key Questions. You have been asked to work out what you want to focus on. If you are doing rivers you are probably looking at 3 variables from the upper to the lower course. If you are doing tourism, you might be looking at the location where people of different ages come from or where people come from who have found the cost of parking too expensive (or something like that).

4) Methodology. In this section you have to explain in detail how you used the tools you did to collect the data. In the rivers project the tools are things like the hydroprop tool and the callipers tool. If you are doing the tourism project your tools are things like the postcode tool or the gender tool. Explain why and how these tools were chosen, what they measured and exactly how they were used. In the rivers project include pictures of the physical tools. In the tourism project include a copy of the questionnaire (a copy is on the project pages).

5) If you are having any problems, email me al@sussexhouseschool.co.uk

DON'T PANIC, if you can't get it all together. Get together what you can. I'm setting a deadline to help you work to it. Dr Lee ; )

And Jake exactly how many biscuits did you scoff? ; )

Maps

Additional exam paper: (No map)




 * Geography Prep Wednesday 22 April 2015**

Revise all your case studies. In class we will have a test that asks questions about your case studies ... any of them!


 * Holiday Work**

Continue to revise from the Belinda Froud book. Go through your last mock paper and find the areas that are weak. You were given a map last term to use as a revision tool with the mapping review book that is scanned below. It should be in your revision notes. If you mapping is weak then go through this carefully. Many of you were sloppy with global locations. This is a simple learning exercise, and I have been giving you revision sheets and preps and exams on these same places for the last three years. Learn them! If you can learn thousands of Latin and French words you can learn a small list of places! You should expect to get 100% in this section - without fail. They are gift questions for boys as clever as you - don't waste them. You have been given the "Core Set" of locations to learn, and it is also on this wikipage, if you scroll down and find it.



In the rare chance you may have lost your copy, I have scanned it, but I'm not sure how well it will print out.



Here is a past paper. (I can't give you the map however).




 * Geography Prep Wednesday 25 February 2015**

There will be a test on weather and climate. Revise the topic from the Belinda Froud book. It's going to be a hard test! There might be a question from another part of the geography course too. Be aware!

Build a questionnaire that could be used to gather information for the tourism part of our expedition. You should write ten questions. Think very carefully about the wording of your questions so they are not confusing at all. You need to make sure that the answers are consistent. You can ask the questions to members of your family and see if they can explain to you what the question means. If they don't understand, refine the question. Also think carefully about how the questions might be answered by someone who is from another country etc or are there for an unexpected reason.
 * Geography Prep Wednesday 18 September 2013 **

Try to make as many questions multiple choice or answered in numbers so that the responses are easily counted, measured, graphed and averaged.

When you have built your questionnaire, think about what kind of graph or table the data from each question could make, and what might this prove or show. You could also think about how you might use data together, eg to draw a graph for people from different age groups, or genders for example.

You can type your questions and responses if you like, but your work needs to be printed, trimmed and glued into your book. If your computer's not working then write your answers in your book. Email me if you don't understand.


 * Geography Prep Wednesday 11 September 2013 **

In preparation for our expedition, please look over this site (5 mins) http://www.field-studies-council.org/virtualtours/castlehead/index.html


 * There will be a note home to your parents about the expedition tomorrow or on Friday.**

Read through this as it gives some potential river measure techniques: http://www.rgs.org/OurWork/Schools/Fieldwork+and+local+learning/Fieldwork+techniques/Rivers.htm

Look at these examples of interesting maps and graphs that you could think about incorporating into your tourism project.

http://www.rockware.com/product/featuresLobby.php?id=165&category=582 (These are geology graphs but perhaps you can think of a way of using similar graphs with tourism information).

Boys, you have done this four times before now, and you know what needs to be done. All revision exercises have been spent and we have been through the work many times. We have looked at interpretative questions as has been indicated to me that more recent papers are likely to contain more of. Such questions have always been a part of the CE programme, but indications are that setters etc are expecting to increase the number of such questions.

The photocopier has been broken, so I have distributed a map to you in school and I have put one of the few recent papers you have not looked at online, below.

Good luck.

__**NB Read the instructions carefully otherwise you might have difficulty accessing the files.**__

Here's the link: []

Where there is a PDF to download, **download and read the PDF**, and then **listen to/watch** the song/videoclip. You can also listen to/watch the video clips for which there are no PDFs.

__**// If you're using Firefox or Chrome you will have to click through to YouTube to watch the videos. One of them is not working unfortunately. //**__

Make a list of the songs you have listened to and next to each one write down, on paper, what the main economic issues were considered/looked at/addressed in the song. Think about this in terms of geography and economic activities. The notes you make are not going to be marked, but you can use them to answer questions about the clips, in class.

Following on from recent preps, there will be another test on global locations. This will be taken directly from the Belinda Froud book, and are places/locations that you have already learnt. You should aim to get 100% in this test. Studying these locations is, right now, the best and simplest way to improve your CE score.
 * Prep for Wednesday 20 February 2012**

Your geography project is due on Monday. Make sure you have changed the key question (see the geography enquiry support page).
