Course overview - Term 3
All our sessions in this term are dedicated to identifying gaps in knowledge and understanding and closing those. There will be a mixture of whole class recapping and independently driven revision using a range of tools such as knowledge organisers, case study practise and practice papers. We will revisit each and all of the case studies, identifying which case study is the correct choice for typical questions. Some learners will also be focusing on their exam stamina to make sure they understand the importance of fully tackling each and every question in the exams.
Paper 1 Our Natural World (units 1-4 + coastal fieldwork)
Paper 2 People and Society (units 5-8 + human fieldwork)
Paper 3 Geographical Exploration (a synoptic mix of any 2 units)
There will be a large focus on exam technique including how to approach a paper 3 in order to maximise success.
