I have put together a 6 page student workbook to guide GCSE students through the content of the pre-release material on tropical rainforests for 2019 AQA summer examination series.

There are also links to numeracy skills like mean/ median and mode.

Last Year I photocopied model examples of these a3 sheets done to high standards and gave them to Lower ability groups to copy/ assist in filling in their own. The students independantly analyse the sources in the booklet to find relevant facts and statistics and examine their own opinions on the information given. The structures given help them to evaluate the issues of how far road building in Peru will lead to greater wealth equality, and think in terms of social, economic and environmental.
