What do teachers say about this resource? (10647)
A valuable recourse that articulated sections of the specification through a range of activities which develop both in detail and difficulty as you progress through the booklet. The structure of these activities is also going to help develop students own ability to understand what the examiners are looking for in their answers, as well as support retention of the information into their long term memory ... I really like the fill the gap task and the way that it feeds directly into the next task, short text activity and then application of knowledge is really going to help the lower end students as well ensure information is stored in the long term memory ... The model answers also cover a good range of abilities/grades and will really help the students understand how to get the marks on each of the sections ... It gives students a greater insight into what is expected of them in the exam ... it allows students to see how to apply their knowledge in exam style questions ... The content is good in terms of breath of knowledge from the specification
It is an excellent resource, with lots of variety in tasks and scope to support students at a range of ability levels. It is very focused on examination technique, which is something that many other revision resources fail to focus on. I particularly like the fact that this can be photocopied in black and white and therefore is a very accessible resource to use for students. There is lots of flexibility in how the tasks can be set - as starter recaps, plenaries or homework or remote teaching resources. The gap fill tasks allow students to model great answers very quickly by focusing on key words rather than having to write at length. This is very useful to maintain pace and engagement with exam question practice, which can be quite dry. Layout is consistent and clear. Questions and command words match the AQA specification. It is well balanced in the coverage of all elements of the specification.
I used the previous version of Geography for Great Results and found it very useful. The additional resources within this are a great addition.
The resource covers the AQA Specification mandatory topics as well as the option topics. This gives the users the opportunity to choose whichever option is being covered. The resource is also laid out well such that the low tariff questions are presented first followed by the challenging ones are gradually introduced. This will be useful especially for the LA pupils because it will possibly build their confidence to address the challenging 6, 9 mark questions.
The resource has frameworks for answering the 9 mark questions which will be helpful for planning their work before writing out the answer in full. The activities that follow the gap fill task and their own knowledge looks like a good technique to encourage the pupils build their understanding through the knowledge acquired in the gap fill task.
This resource will help pupil enhance their understanding of concepts, processes. In addition it will develop their exam techniques.
Covers the specification and addresses all topics including the optional areas.
There are opportunities to develop further pupils understanding of concepts as well as the inter relationships between concepts and processes.
I would gladly purchase this resource because the range of tasks for revision provides an opportunity for both LA and HA pupils to develop their exam techniques. It also starts with tasks that will improve LA pupils’ confidence and develop their ability to answer the more challenging tasks.
a brilliant resource that will not only save teachers time but allows students to progress and provide more detail in the longer questions. In my many years of teaching, most students struggle to write the longer 6-9 mark questions and need more scaffolding. This resource has not only condensed a very content heavy course but also provides excellent worked examples alongside scaffolding and retrieval practice ... Simplicity of the command words so that students at all levels can access them ... Topic checklist for pupils to follow as they can know all of the sections they have to cover and they can keep a visual log of their own progress. I use these and the I find it motivates and engages students ... The students can use the text above to enable them to complete the revision tasks so they do not have to go looking for more information in a different location... The ‘Getting Smaller’ and mini case studies – this is a more user friendly version that students could use in their revision ... The table below may be useful for teachers and students so they can see the ‘BIG PICTURE’ and know exactly how their marks are awarded ... The ‘Odd one Out/In’ activity is excellent at getting students to develop their metacognitive thinking. It will help them to solve geographical problems, articulate their thoughts and be able to give reasons why ... The structure that is provided for the long/essay questions is an incredible way to show students how to break the task into steps. It not only covers the knowledge and understanding they require but also how to structure their answer to get maximum marks and SPaG. In addition to this, it sets high expectations of the students and supports them to make ambitious goals ... Shows students ‘What excellence looks like’
It’s a great revision tool, especially for the weeks before the exam. Fun odd one out activities and good practice for long answer questions.
A useful pack, with a wide range of resources in it. I liked the variety of resources. This seems sensible as there will be a revision idea for every student. I also like the instruction on exam rubric. This is essential as students do need continual reminders about how the exam is set out and what they need to do to achieve success. This would be great to dip into in revision classes with students or as a home resource for the student to practice particular questions. It is a great resource for enforcing key learning points and for helping students to see the final result that they are aiming for, i.e. an in-depth answer.
A useful content rich resource. It would support teachers who are new to teaching or are new to the GCSE specification. The model answers are excellent resources that allow students to understand what to include in answers. A generic mark scheme allows teachers to set their own questions in a language that students understand. A range of resources and activities that enable students to succeed at GCSE geography. I think this would lead to the students being able to revise effectively using these resources.
It enables students understand the requirement of each question band with example command word and a generic mark scheme.
- It has a range of activities that will help students to review and recap previous learning.
- It has resources that reduce the time teachers need to spend writing out example answers to questions.
- They produce well-researched case studies.
