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.

This lesson covers the whole 5.3abc of the Edexcel specification for A level Geography. Resources are included within the PPT, lesson is based on two textbooks Edexcel A level book 2 by Hodder Education and Geography for Edexcel A level year 2 by Oxford. Enjoy teaching

I have prepared this resource, after 2022 exam marking session for AQA, to help my students to understand exam answers’ structure even more and develop them further. I understand that not all of them will get the maximum marks but even if everyone of them can improve their answers to reach the next level then my job is done. The resource has answer structures for 4, 6 and 9 markers for all command words I came across in the new specification past papers starting from 2018. The resource also has some connectives to help students to develop their answers. Hope it helps you too.
