Globalisation teaching activity and model answer for the new A level Geography curriculum. To what extent do the advantages of globalisation outweigh the disadvantages?

The resources I have created consist of: A sorting activity which encourages students to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of globalisation for TNC’s, NEE/LIC’s and HIC’s. A model answer for students to examine. This model answer helps to show students how to apply knowledge and create an introductory paragraph as well as an evaluative conclusion.

Coastal systems and landscapes preparation pack for the 2022 exams. The following questions are predicted questions based upon the advanced information from AQA (7037 & 7036). This pack is designed be used in order to help prepare students for this summer’s A/S and A level geography exam for the coastal unit. However, I have no inside knowledge of AQA exams, and I would encourage students to revise other parts of the course as well. This pack includes: Exemplar answers to the following questions: Using figure 1 and your own knowledge, assess the view that gravitational/tidal energy is the most important source of energy in the development of this coastal landscape. (6 marks) (A level) Assess the role of geomorphological processes in the formation of fjords. (6 marks) (A level) Assess the role of feedback systems in the formation of landscapes of coastal deposition. [9 marks] (AS question.) “Attempts of mitigation and adaption by coastal managers will effectively manage the risks and allow opportunities for human occupation as well as development.” With reference to a coastal landscape beyond the UK, to what extent do you agree with this view? [20 marks] (AS & A level) This pack also includes five tasks to help students to improve their knowledge and understanding of this content, as well as links to website to help promote wider reading. From my experience most students are unable to achieve the highest grades as their responses reply to heavily on the core textbook. By using the exemplar essay students will gain a deeper understanding of the issues that are required to achieve the top grades. In addition to the questions in this pack I would encourage students to practice the analyse question from the additional specimen paper on sediment transport pathways or the Chabahar Bay question from the 2018 paper.

Model answer and task to go with the following essay question: Assess the extent to which rising global temperatures may result in a positive feedback cycle of yet higher carbon content in the atmosphere. (20 marks) In 2018, AQA set a 20-mark essay question concerning the water cycle. Therefore, this year I have decided to pay greater attention to the carbon cycle. This resource will effectively help students to review their knowledge of carbon fluxes and feedback loops.

Assess the potential impact of changing vegetation cover upon the runoff in this area. 6 marks. Outline flows within the water cycle operating on a hill slope. 4 marks. This resource includes model answers for each of these questions. I have also included a sorting activity as well as additional tasks and a wider reading list. Completion of these activities will help students to access the higher grades.

Three resources in one document that will need two one hour lessons to complete or one lesson followed by homework. This has been written for the teaching the new AQA A level Geography however this unit is also found within the other A level Geography specifications. Resource 1 - Sorting activity related to the carbon and water cycle. This helps with synoptic links and includes a section that links the water cycle to carbon fluxes by volcanoes. Resource 2 - Model answer for the following question - Assess the extent to which there are interrelationships between processes in water cycle and factors driving change in the carbon cycle. (20 marks) Resource 3 - An alternative question with a plan to help students to apply knowledge from one essay question to another. This helps them to develop their skills in applying their knowledge to different questions.

Model answers included for the following questions: Assess the role of sub-aerial processes in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Assess the role of erosional processes in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Assess the role of transport pathways in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Under the previous A level Geography specification exam questions often focused on describing landforms and explaining the formational processes. However, the new specification expects students to be able to assess the role of different processes in the creation of coastal landscapes. This work sheet helps students to achieve this. The resources includes: An outline of how wave cut platforms form. A systems analysis activity on wave cut platforms. Exam questions and models answers to support students in assessing the role of different processes in the creation of coastal landscapes.
