WELCOME!

Hi! Geography & History is a captivating subject because you can find out a lot of things to understand our world. Here, I will upload many documents, sheets and videos to study the subject in English in all the four years of Secondary Education.

This website completes the platforms that we will use during the school year - TEAMS - together with the Educacyl email address. If you have any doubt, ask me sending an email.

Let's look for your year and start learning!

• Order, clarity and presentation are important.

• Spelling, writing and the use of English are taken into account.

• The texts must be clear and coherent.

• The pupil must respect the deadlines to hand the works.

• He/she must pass the activities with maps.

• If the pupil gets less than 3 points in an exam, he/she will not pass the subject in that term.

• To pass the subject, the pupil must pass at least two terms and the average mark must be over 5 points.

• The final mark will be the average mark of the three terms.

4. Resits

• There will be resits for the pupils who fail the subject in each term. 1) After Christmas (if it is necessary, for the units of the 1^st Term; if not, the resit will be in June), 2) after the Holy Week (for the units of the 2^nd Term) and 3) at the end of the school year, in June (for the units of the 3^rd Term). 4) In June, there will be another resit for the pupils who have failed the contents of two or three terms.

• In September there will be an extra-exam about all the contents of the subject for the pupils who failed the subject in June. In this case, the pupils will have to do some activities during the summer (to be handed in September) but it will be necessary to get a mark over 5 points in the exam to pass the subject.
