That's really useful, many thanks - thinking of essay Qs is hard enough - to have brief 'mark schems' too is gold dust for me.
Thanks Anne, much appreciated - at least we agree within a mark or two (I was debating between 21 and 22) - the other bit of synopticity was mention of the green revolution, development of new crops & techniques to cope with the effects of GW - I kn…
Thanks Lindsay.
I make a habit of writing RTQ on all students work (where relevant) right from Y7 up -but I like RTBQ (assuming it means what I think it means!)
In case people have missed it, similar / more stuff on this here: http://aqageog.ning.…
I would give it top level 2 - 20 marks. I don't really think there is much synopticity just the one area you pick up on. I looked at the list in the mark scheme.
Here's my student's mock exam essay on global warming, with my attempt at marking. Please do critically comment, would be good to fine-tune our marking of this through 'moderation' I reckon...
And obviously, some more e.g.s would be good - especial…
That's useful, thanks for that Darren
Some useful advice here - thanks. I've tried to break down the levels to include AOs - could you let me know what you think. If anyone has any Tectonics model essays I could really do with some so I can do some modelling work with Y13s. Thanks Darre…
Two more essays from the course I went on. Development essay is 27/28 andf Conflicts is 25 marks.
OK, thanks Emma. I'm just going to do temperature - with thermometers borrowed from Science! As an independent school, no access to LEA RAs.
Emma / Adele / anyone else,
I know this is a little cheeky, but has anyone got a risk assessment for an urban microclimate investigation?
I know I would need to adjust anyway, but thought better to start from a base if I can...
If not, and anyone…
I am taking my first set of essays in on Thursday. I will gladly upload some here. They are world cities essays. It would be good to share some ideas on essay marking as getting to grips with the new 40 mark essays looks interesting!
Sorry Huw, can you elaborate on the Geog 1 problems - I am new to this Spec in September, have student retaking in Jan...?
Sounds good to me.
I have just had some in - i have marked. thought it would be good to post a range including teacher marks - a kind of moderation process? I will post some from school. - top middle bottom? I don't think we need permission if you take names off?
Thanks everyone, that's great.
Anne - very useful, thanks.
I will post a couple when I get a minute - mad independent school report thing going on this week.
Thank you for sharing this Kevin. I agree with your suggestion about sharing a student's essay (obviously with their permission) but I can't do it just yet as I'm still trying to get my head around what a 40 mark essay will look like. I'm due to go…
