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.
You can now also buy a full copy of the whole mark scheme/assessment criteria which has a translation bulletpoint by bulletpoint:

This bundle comprises of two different mark schemes aimed at students being able to understand the demands of the assessment criteria:
The first one translates the descriptors for the top level marks for each of the 4 sections, providing prompts and questions for students to ensure they have covered the section to meet the top level. It also has a suggested layout and top tips for each of the 4 sections.
The second one is a translation of the entire mark scheme/assessment criteria, bulletpoint by bulletpoint and is formatted to look like the Edexcel version. Students could use this to attempt to mark their own or an exemplar to better help them understand the demands for each level descriptor.
These two mark schemes can also be bought separately too:

You need a copy of Interactions (new or old edition works!) to go with this resource. Students read each statement and decide whether it is true or false, based on the information from pg8-11 of the textbook. Must correct 'false&' statements and add further info to &';true' statements. Extension activities at bottom of the sheet.
Aimed at yr9. Leaving it as a cover activity - could give cover teacher answers so students can self-assess.
This is the 3rd lesson of Enquiry Question 3 from the water topic.
This lesson uses a little chalk and talk before students use the short case studies to help answer the exam question from the June 2018 paper.

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.

An updated popular resource which had a lot of downloads but only one piece of feedback.
This lesson is a role-play/drama activity based on the news story of the scientists in the dock (Oct 2012) about how Italian siesmologists are on trial for not predicting L’Aquila (2009). The information used has come from BBC articles and videos.
The powerpoint has notes on how to set the lesson up whilst the word documents are the witness statements and judges questions.
It is important that you have done previous work on earthquake prediction, but that they DON’T KNOW what happened with this trial in real life until they’ve been through the courtcase. Works well with top set yr9 or even GCSE. This is a lesson to invite the Head to sit in and be a judge!

The first lesson of Enquiry Question 1 of the carbon and energy unit. In this, students learn the idea of what carbon is and what the carbon cycle is. There is some information in this lesson from the Hodder flag textbook.
Recommended background reading (for teacher and students): http://jcourtneywhite.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/The_Story_of_Carbon.pdf
Challenges the idea that carbon is seen as something ‘bad’ in the media when actually it’s very important!
