This document is a ‘translation’ of the Edexcel mark sheet for the NEA in Geography.
In the first column is the top tier criteria for each section as it is on the official mark sheet.
The middle column contains in student speak what should be included based on Edexcel training/webinars I have attended.
In the last column is a checklist for each section and some top tips - again, this is based on training I have been on.
I’m sure it’s not perfect but I worked my little socks off to make it.

This bundle contains 4 templates:
9 mark Assess
9 mark Evaluate
6 mark Assess
6 mark Explain
This should be printed out on A3, folded in half to make an A4 booklet, with each page on one side.
The format of how this works:
pg1 - Walkthrough - I’ve really tried to take a step-by-step guide (and for your weakest students they should only ever use this perhaps?)
pg2 - Template - This is where it’s more of a compartmentalised layout so they visualise the answer. I suggest when they have mastered the Walkthrough version, that they go straight to the Template Version.
pg3 - Exam Answer - so how they would see it in the exam
pg4 - Improved answer - I’ve put on a levels table in student speak and hen you’ve marked it, they have to find evidence of what you mean and fill in last column. Then there is space for them to make improvements to ONE section of their answer.
All 8 lessons which comprise the first Enquiry Question for the water topic of Edexcel A Level Geography.
You will find all lessons and resources, with notes under the slides to help show how the lessons flows, as well as homeworks and exam questions too.
Please look out for other water resources and carbon resources too (being uploaded through June 2018).

This is a writing frame/template for a 6-mark Explain question for AQA GCSE Geography. I am trialling this with my GCSE students. It is probably not perfect but I’ve tried to break it down as much as possible for students struggling with longer answers and higher-order command words.
This should be printed out on A3, folded in half to make an A4 booklet, with each page on one side.
The format of how this works:
pg1 - Walkthrough - I’ve really tried to take a step-by-step guide by using an example with different answers. It points out what’s good and what to improve on.
pg2 - Template - This is where it’s more of a compartmentalised layout. Hopefully they can use this to visually see how their answer will look.
pg3 - Exam Answer - so how they would see it in the exam
pg4 - Improved answer - I’ve put on a levels table in student speak and hen you’ve marked it, they have to find evidence of what you mean and fill in last column. Then there is space for them to make improvements to ONE section of their answer.
Thanks for looking and hope you found this useful to you and your students. Good luck with your results!
I also have writing frames/templates for 9-mark Assess and Evaluate and 6-mark Assess. These also come as a bundle.

The resource is fully there but I’ve had to insert some blank pages in to the document to prevent people from copying and pasting off the preview on here. Obviously delete the blank pages when printing!

I’ve designed this leaflet specifically for my lower set yr9s as I will be leaving them on Wednesday. All the information and questions are in the leaflet and hopefully they can just get on with the activities.
