This is a knowledge test that covers the following aspects of the rivers unit: stages of the river long profile, fluvial processes, erosional landforms and why rivers meander. It comes with a feedback PPT for peer assessment saving you time to mark it. At the same time it teaches students how to answer short answer questions and get the full mark for them. Have a look at the river valley’s knowledge test and urban knowledge test. My students like them, so I hope that yours will too.
The lesson is project based, it covers case study of a section of coastline in the UK to identify its major landforms of erosion and deposition (Flamborough Head to Spurn Head). Students complete a "case study on a page" project. Students have the guidance (attached) and research the information needed. My students love this type of lesson and they are extremely engaged (including the ones with behaviour issues). The project guidance has step by step instructions and a set of websites students can use. It also teaches them to only select the information that are the "must have" as they are restricted with the space available (the case study must fit on an A3 sheet). I completed this with my Y9 GCSE group.
The knowledge test is designed to help students to memorise key information about the River Tees valley. The PPT is to go through the knowledge test for students to peer assess each other, so they learn the key information for the test and then learn what is required in the short answers to get the maximum marks. I used it with my GCSE classess and they love it. Have a look at the other knowledge tests too.
The knowledge test covers urban terminology related to megacities and Dharavi as a case study, it concentrates on Dharavi benefits and challenges. It is adaptable so you can use it for any case studies. It comes with a feedback PPT for peer assessment. Helps the less able to answer the short answer questions and the more able to include specific information in the level mark questions and develop their answers to the magical level 3. Have a look at another knowledge tests of mine.
A short knowledge test that you can do as a starter or a plenary to consolidate the key terminology. It comes with a feedback PPT so the students can peer assess each other, which gives them the knowledge of how to answer short answer questions to get the maximum mark and it also gives them the detailed knowledge for leveled marked questions. I use it for the above reasons and also to help them memorise the knowledge in section but throughout the year as some of them have the bad tendency to wait until one day before the exam where is too late.
These are six outlines one for each case study for EQ2. My students used them to classify the information they researched specific impacts of an earthquake, a volcanic eruption and a tsunami in LICs and HICs using geofile, geo factsheet, geoactive. They are suitable for any case studies as you can adapt them to responses as well.
