Students have the opportunity to identify links between rural areas and deprivation in Wales. Students have to use the sources to make links and annotate the maps.
Following on there is a flow chart to organise in order to understand what causes rural deprivation and link this onto the issues of health care provision and education. Students then have a writing frame to complete an analysis style question using the opinions and sources.
All resources are attached to be printed. This can be completed as 1 or 2 lessons.
Students are increasingly finding it difficult in a digital age to retain information. Students rarely know their own mobile numbers as the brain no longer needs to retain this information in a digital era where your memory is in your smartphone. For exams however students cannot rely on their smart phones and need to be using their memories.
This is a good session to get students to think about their revision and how they can revise. The session is interactive and there are lots of activities to try. It works best to use your own subject however the information in this one is generic so students can collectively try the techniques.
I use it a lot for Geography case studies for key facts and have had good success. Students sometimes want to revise but struggle to know how they can make their revision more accessible.
Students complete the case studies with probing questions for the topic of Urban environments. The pack includes sustainable transport in London and sustainable living in Curitiba, squatter settlements in Kibera, Kenya and managing CBD's including UDC's (Newcastle upon Tyne), City Challenge (Manchester) ,Sustainable communities (New Islington) and Managing a city sustainability (Newcastle upon Tyne).
Students complete the sheets for revision alongside the booklets, the questions are challenging and related to the exam specification/question demands. There are also case study notes to assist with completion.
