What do teachers say about this resource? (9741, 10152, 10153, 10154, 10155)
It is a great resource. It has really helped students to get a grasp of the specialised concepts which underpin the Eduqas A Level Geography course. Spot-on and ready to from the outset. I particularly like this resource because all concepts are looked at in detail and in an easily accessible style. The structure of the pack also works very well, i.e. The concepts, keyword glossary, activities, exam-style questions. It helps students to understand the concepts and how they link together to define what it means to think in a connected way, like a geographer. Clear and accessible - straightforward language but nothing important left out. This will really help you to get the students thinking and get them to start getting to grips with these concepts and to think, write and speak more geographically
A Fantastic resource, just what the doctor ordered. The students must know these key concepts and to have a resources already published would save a lot of time. It has credentials being from a publisher I trust. 100% purchase this - saving time.
This resource is very detailed and covered a wide range of content relevant to introducing new classes to the key A Level concepts. It very clearly defines and offers clear examples for the many different concepts and key terms. A well thought through resource!
Successfully tackles a part of exam technique that is often underrated for its importance. The key word glossary addresses the major themes in contemporary geography, with sustainability, globalisation and mitigation spoken about consistently. The ability of students to critically analyse their own responses is very important for them to improve and better understand what an examiner is looking for from a candidate. I really like the systematic approach this resource has. The sequence in which it runs is self-explanatory and does not require much work, meaning the reader can better focus on the points that are being made. [I would purchase] without any hesitation. I think it is a really good idea to help improve technique in examinations.
I love what the resource is trying to do! An excellent transition task for students to bridge the gap between GCSE and A-level ... it serves as a backbone to the course.
