An activity which gets students to develop their 4 mark answers for the AQA A Level Geography topic Changing Places.
I have often found students lack enough detail or fail to include examples in 4 mark answers.Therefore, I have developed this worksheet to help them revise key terms and link each to examples and theories they have learned about over the course. It also then gets them to create a 4 mark question which includes each of the key terms.
