Bridging the Gap
This work will not be submitted but will provide a good foundation of knowledge that will give you a positive start with your course.
Prior Knowledge
Prior Knowledge
We will start the physical geography side of the course by looking at the earth’s life support systems and in particular the carbon and water cycle. Spend some time refreshing your knowledge of how carbon emissions change the climate and how this can be managed. Also consider how water moves through the water cycle and how human action may change this.
In human geography you will study the nature of places. Look back over your work on a city in a HIC and a city in an LIC/NEE and consider what factors have shaped the nature of that place.

Folders & Organisation
Folders & Organisation
You will need at least one folder for geography; although you may prefer a different one for human and physical geography to save you bringing the whole thing in each day.
You will need to divide your folder up into the key ideas of each topic. We will go through these key ideas in the first lesson.
The front of your folder should contain information on the course structure and your reading log – both of these will be given to you in the first week.
