This is a resource that I have prepared for my A Level students after this year marking season. The resource contains structures for explain (3, 6 and 8 marker), assess and evaluate questions including connectives that should be used. When I was marking this year (2022) A level Geography paper 1 for Edexcel, it was very clear that students ‘assess’ or ‘evaluate’ across the board instead of ‘explain’ losing marks with reasonably easy questions. As much as ‘assess’ and ‘evaluate’ answers do not differ hugely in structure and students still can score a decent mark, with ‘explain’ is a different story, when they start evaluating or assessing instead of explaining, students wasting their time together with their marks. Hope you find it useful.

The lesson covers key idea 5.5 detailed content a, b and c of the Edexcel A level specification. The PPT is based on two textbooks: Edexcel A level book 2 by Hodder Education referred to as ‘flags textbook’ Geography for Edexcel A level year 2 by Oxford University Press referred to as ‘dragon textbook’ The whole key idea is covered within one PPT, instructions and resources are withing the PPT, the lesson ends with an exam question taken from Edexcel A Level Geography past papers.

They are suitable for any case studies as you can adapt them to responses as well.
