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.
