 * TWO COPIES TO SCHOOL.**


 * 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 The main difference is that there used to be a section on 'environment,' which has not been replaced by considering the environment through all parts of the course.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.

Work through your Data Presentation and Data Analysis. You should be getting ready to have a draft of this ready.
 * Geography Lesson and Prep 6 Oct 16**

You should be working on your Data Presentation right now and starting to think about Data Analysis. Remember you can transfer the same graphs from one section into the next. In Data Presentation you just show the graphs, in Data Analysis, you have to analyse them. Look at the guide to see what it means to analyse. You might draw more graphs that help with your analysis. Think about that too. Start playing with the information you have and think about what other evidence you need to argue your findings. You might use photographs, articles from the press/internet, etc. Good luck. Email me any questions.
 * Geography Cover Lesson Tuesday 4 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.


 * 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.

Bring your work to class.


 * Summer Term**


 * Geography Prep 19 May 2016**


 * Look through the Things you should know sections at the end of each chapter. Make sure you know them! There will be questions next lesson.**


 * Geography Prep 12 May 2016**


 * Unfortunately the school internet server was off line this afternoon, so I could not set prep at school. It is 7pm now, and I can't reasonably expect boys to be checking for prep all evening. If you have a chance do some focused revision. Best, Dr Lee**






 * 5 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.**


 * Geography Prep 28 April 2016**

Revise global locations for a test. Do the best you can. The test will help yo usee how far you have come / how far you have yet to go.


 * 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 10 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 Thursday 3 March 2016**

Revise and study case studies from the blue book. Make your summaries on cards.


 * Geography Prep Thursday 25 February 2016**

I gave you a Winchester Paper today. Answer Question 4. This should take 25 minutes. However, I want you to spend a lot of time on the questions making sure you get them 100% right. You can use your textbook to help or any other source. The last question is worth 12 marks, you need to write about 15 lines or more on this. You must write a detailed answer.

In the meantime, something for you to think about: media type="youtube" key="9jVyFoW7XLY" width="560" height="315"


 * Geography Prep Thursday 4 February 2016**

// I REALISE I HAVE SOME OF YOUR BOOKS, I THOUGHT THEY HAD BEEN RETURNED. IF I HAVE YOUR BOOK, IN THIS INSTANCE, WRITE (DON'T TYPE) YOUR WORK ON PAPER. //

Answer the following questions in your books. Use your textbook. Aim to get them 100% correct. HAND WRITE THE ANSWERS. DO NOT TYPE.

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 influenced 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 Thursday 28 January 2016**

Look through the internet to find information about the floods in the UK this Christmas/New Year. 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.



** 6J Holiday Revision can be found in the section CE Revision. See the menu on the right. **

 * Geography Prep 19 November 2015**

Read the chapter on weather and climate in the Belinda Froud revision book come into class with questions that have arisen from your reading.


 * 12 November 2015**


 * Geography Prep:** **Read through the Chapter on Weather and Climate in your textbooks.**


 * 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.

Dr Lee


 * Geography Prep for Thursday 22 October**


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


 * Geography Prep for 1 October**

Complete your project (first draft) up to and including one part of your data analysis. 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.

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

Look carefully over the coastal part of the Belinda Froud Book.


 * Geography Prep Thursday 7 May 2015**

Review the following case study and add it to your arsenal!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/geography/physical_processes/plate_tectonics/revision/7/

Review this information about the Lake District as the Lake District should be one of your case studies

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography/sustainability/sustainable_tourism_rev2.shtml

Make key notes from these case studies.

Don't stay up and wait for the election results. Go to bed!


 * Geography Prep Thursday 30 April**

Go through case studies looking at the gaps that the test today may have revealed.


 * 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 Thursday 26 February 2015**

Look through the section on Coasts in the Belinda Froud Book. Come into class with questions. We will be going through the material. Write down a list of questions that arise in your reading.


 * Geography Prep Thursday 12 February 2015**


 * 1. Draw three diagrams. One for each form of rainfall. Label each diagram fully.**
 * Time yourself and spend no more than exactly 4 minutes on each.**
 * If you don't get it finished do it again and work faster and at the end check that your diagram is complete.**
 * Your diagram should be drawn in lead pencil and coloured pencil.**


 * Label your diagrams in Ink. Rule all straight lines. 4 minutes each.**
 * This is your challenge.**
 * If you fail, try again and speed up.**
 * The colour is to help explain the process use it wisely.**
 * You are not colouring it just to make it pretty.**


 * Check that your diagram is clear.**


 * Geography Prep Thursday 5 February 2015**

Your project is due on Monday 17 October. This is the last prep before we move onto revision. Check spelling, make sure your margins are clear, make sure graphs are clear. Make sure you have ink at home to print it, and print it on the weekend. Do not expect to print it at school on Monday. You can print it on slightly heavier weight paper if you like. Be careful not to scrunch up the paper, keep if very clean and FLAT. Punch holes carefully so they are on the left side of the pages. Print single sided only. Good luck. Any problems, email me.


 * Geography Prep: Thursday 6 November 2014**

Your project is due on Monday 17 October. Finish it off!


 * Geography Prep: Thursday 30 October 2014**

Work towards completing your project and polishing what you have done.


 * Geography Prep: Thursday 2 October 2014**

You should now be able to hand in your data analysis, or at least a first draft. If you are unable to do this then you are running a little behind and you need to see me. Look at the guide to the Data Analysis section on the Wikispace.

Your prep is to get your project to this stage and hand in this material on Friday.


 * Geography Prep: Thursday 25 September 2014**

You should now be able to hand your data presentation (if you have not yet done so) and your data analysis. Data analysis is the hardest part, so I'm not fussed if you're still working on this, but I do want you to hand in what you've done so far - there should be some evidence of progress.

So, your prep is to get to this point and hand in tomorrow the above sections.

Some boys think that they can just press buttons on the computer and a graph will appear. Actually you will need to build new, small spreadsheets and build your graphs out of these.


 * LOOK on the Wikispace under TOURISM and RIVERS. There are new documents here and information to help you with the problems you might be having now.**


 * Geography Cover and Prep: Thursday 18 September 2014**

You should do the work below and polish it for Prep. Bring it in on Friday to hand in.

You should now be working on your data presentation and this should be complete. For prep, you should have these tables/graphs completed. If you are struggling with this then you need to speak to me about it in class, or during a geography project workshop.


 * NOTE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A GEOGRAPHY PROJECT WORKSHOP THIS THURSDAY 18 SEPTEMBER!**


 * Geography Prep Thursday 11 September 2014**

Look through your textbook and the Belinda Froud book on the weather and climate sections. Write a list of ten questions you can ask about this topic in the next lesson. The questions are questions that you don't know the answers to. What actually is snow? OR What causes wind to blow in one direction? for example (you can't use these now) We will answer the questions next lesson.

Sorry this prep was posted late as I had a meeting at the Royal Geographical Society, which ran late and from where I'm setting prep! So do it proud! ; )

 * Thanks for submitting your project drafts. Handing these in on time contributes to your progress mark. __Do not work on your projects during half term__ because projects are meant to be done at school (as specified by the exam board) AND because I want to give you specific feedback on where you are up to. Working further now will risk wasting time, because you might be off track. Enjoy your holiday and revise previous work if you want to do some prep for examinations.**

Work on projects. Please concentrate on doing the data presentation and the data analysis. This is the hard work, the rest will be quick and easy to do later. Do the numbers, counting and graphs etc.

 * Learning from mistakes/Research/Moving Forward **

Today we went through aspects of what is called "Research Design." This process involves troubleshooting the data we intend to collect, so that in the end the interviews flow smoothly, people know what they are doing and why and know how to deliver the interviews.
 * Prep Thursday 19 September 2013**

For prep answer the following questions:

1) Write ten questions that we might reasonably ask in the interview, keeping in mind what you will do with the data when you get it. What will it prove, how would you graph it, how easy will it be to convert into a table or graph that is useful. Include the questions we did today on a) gender b) age c) location and word them very carefully.

2) Under the heading "Research Design" explain the process we went through today. What kinds of things did we discuss, how did we troubleshoot people's suggestions, how were conclusions made? How did we agree questions might be asked. How would we code information and chunk groups?

I expect a solid 30 minutes' work on this. Our lesson today could have been more productive and I think you need to catch up by working particularly hard on this prep!

You can type your prep only if you are able to trim and glue the material into your books. Also look out for last week's prep which seems to have gone missing and if you have it glue it into your books before today's prep.


 * Prep Thursday 12 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).

Last term we talked about using Google Earth to draw a rose diagram. Read the instructions on the following page and do the exercise. You will need to print the page.




 * Prep Thursday 5 September 2013 **

Do some preparation for the fieldtrip later in September.

Find out the following:

This is not a written prep, because I hope you will find other useful and interesting information when you search for the answer to these questions.

1. How popular is the Lake District compared to other National Parks in the UK? 2. What is distinctive about the Lake District National Park? 3.What is ghyll scrambling? 4. How substantial is the Jaguar factory at Castle Bromwitch compared to other car factories? (Think about the best measure to use here) 5. What else has been made at the factory, and why do you think its products have changed over the years? 6. Is the factory in a good location? Why or why not?

 * Geography Final Revision for Common Entrance **

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.

Dr Lee ; )



Today we looked over river nomenclature. Go through the river section in the Froud book and make sure you know all the terminology. Look up the Severn on Google Earth and follow its route to see the features we saw in the video.
 * Geography Prep Thursday 16 May **

 * And read this:**

We'll talk about it in class. It fits into our economic activities revision. Dr Lee

Revise the section on economic activities in the Belinda Froud Book. Also continue to revise global locations.
 * Prep for Thursday 28 February 2013**

There will be one final global locations test. Revise the rest of the locations from the Belinda Froud book as has been set verbally for the past couple of weeks. The aim is to score 100%
 * Prep for Thursday 21 February 2013**


 * Prep for Thursday 31 January 2013**

This week we did a global locations quiz. Surprisingly no one scored 100% as it is a simple learning exercise. Please learn the global locations with the expectation of getting them all right. Getting 100% in this section of CE is very easy if you just learn the places, it's a fraction of what you have to learn for languages. If you get 100% in this section, it is like walking into CE already having scored 20%! **Learn these solidly. No excuses.** The lists and maps are in the preparation guides you have been given.


 * Cover Lesson for Tuesday 29 January Lesson 6**

Sorry I'm not in today boys. I have a fever.

There is a global location sheet I want you to do as a test. Please treat it as a test, keep your eyes to your own work. It will help gauge how well you are prepared for the global location section of the paper. It is a useful tool for you if you do it faithfully.

If the teacher does not have the test, I emailed it to Trini and to Mr Back and asked for them to be photocopied. So they should be in the office.

Best, Dr Lee

Finalise your geography projects for submission on Monday. If you have already done this revise the global locations section of your revision guides, especially if you scored less than 15 (for that section) in the last exam.
 * Prep for Thursday 24 January 2013 **

Revise your global locations thoroughly. May have a quick quiz next lesson!
 * Prep for Thursday 29 November 2012 **

Your geography project should be handed in on Friday of next week as a draft. You can work on it for prep. You should refer to the guidance booklet and make sure your data analysis and conclusion section are clear.
 * Prep for Thursday 15 November 2012 **

You should now be working on and completing your data analysis. This is the hard graft. Work carefully on this and add this to your memory stick for incorporation into your project at school.
