Keep calm everyone. Hope English goes ok tomorrow. See you there ! Call in by if you need calming down.

Wonderful photos

Hello everyone. I thought you might like to see these photos taken from the top of Cairngorm and across Loch Morlich yesterday in wonderful weather.

Hope the revision is going well. You have all worked well and the main thing you need to do is keep calm ! The format is exactly the same as your past papers from 2008 onwards.

Paper 1 - 1 hour 30 mins 4 compulsory questions ( 2 human, 2 physical) worth 18 marks and 2 further questions worth 14 marks - you will have a choice for the physical but not for human as there is one topic we have not yet completed.

Paper 2 - 1 hour 15 mins ONLY answer Question 1 and Question 6 - allow 35 mins for each - make sure you get to the last part of the questions as they can be worth 20 marks - look at past papers to see what I mean.

I will be in school on Tuesday ( so pop your head round the door when you are in for your first exam) or email either school or the other email address you haev if you need help. Deep breaths and READ the question very carefully and ensure you include your case study examples.

See you on Wednesday Deep breaths !

Sorry about the format - I can't get the text to move properly and now need to cook lunch !

Monday !

Well the Physical NAB approaches !! Keep calm, there will be two twenty mark questions on two different Physical Environment topics e.g. Lithosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere & Biosphere and a ten mark physical GMT question.

Answer in detail, use examples throughout and watch your time so that you get to the end !

Keep calm !

Health

We have started looking at the Health section of work today. For those of you unable to make it because of snow a few hints - if you have your book at home look at the section on health. Use the Water Aid web site for some specific case studies to use in your answers. Email if you have any specific queries.

Development and Health

Two web sites that are well worth looking at are

http://hdr.undp.org/en/data/trends/

http://www.gapminder.org/

They give lots of data and information to help in this section of work.

To those of you stuck at home in the snow we have looked at the undp web site above and discussed indicators and the HDI index. Look at your past papers to get a feel for the type of questions on indicators. Finish Brazil notes and the differences between countries nad be sure you knwo examples of economic adn social indicators. You could even try a question and email it to me - check your inbox later today as I will try and send an email.

See you next week ( hopefully !!)
