I am just about to start teaching this topic in the New Year. Plenty of experience of deserts as I spent so much time in them in my last job but am in the first year of teaching- those of you who have now taught this through once, any experience / g…
I had mine produce a piece of fieldwork with my more able submitting for EPQ in October to gain additional UMS plus I think to be able to complete 4a they need to have written up a study in detail from start to finish. We were fortunate enough to go…
Great to hear that someone else is doing hot deserts - apparently we were in the minority in the Geog 1 exam in June and so the chief examiner marked all of our scripts - the students did well in this topic and looking at the coasts question - I was…
hello - teaching deserts this term. i have some PPT's too - will pass on
Thrown yesterday by a class with no Historians who demonstrated a real dislike for the conflict option. I am locked into tectonics + urban already but was intending to use conflict as the third [and quite excited by it]. They were very keen to do Ec…
Thank you so much for the booklet Catherine - it will be really useful!

- We didn't enter ours for Jan. We went on a 3 day trip to Swanage 2 weeks ago and so am teaching the Skills paper at the moment. I went on an exam Inset on Unit 2 a few weeks ago and can email you the handout the Chief Examiner gave us if you like - lots of practice skills questions and advice. Mine are pretty down at the moment because we did a mock with them last week and they all found it pretty tough! Am looking forward to getting the first lot through!
Thanks,
Tim
