What has changed for GCSE Geography?
● There is no controlled assessment
● Students are instead asked questions about their fieldwork and have to apply knowledge in the exam.
● It is not tiered- everyone has to sit the same paper.
● Questions get progressively harder…. and the exam is harder!
● Students have large quantities of information that they have to remember, as well developing coherent arguments.
What do the students need to know?
This has 7 questions but students only need to answer 4.
PQ1- Natural Hazards
PQ2- Living world
PQ3- Coastal landscapes in the UK
PQ4- River landscapes in the UK
PQ1- Urban issues and challenges
PQ2.The changing economic world
PQ3- The challenge of resource management
PQ4- Food
PQ1- Issue evaluation-
Given information 4 weeks before exam to study in class and then apply to exam questions
Q2.Fieldwork
Students have to remember what they did, why and how to improve their fieldwork.
Where to start?
• Students are covering key content and case studies in class time.
• Lessons are based around exam questions and techniques which are then marked and students are given opportunity to improve answers
• Interventions will be running after school
• Students can use the online Textbooks on Googleclassroom,
code fpet1br
How can you help?
• Encourage them to revise in little chunks• Encourage them to use the exam technique we are teaching in
class, called ‘BUGS’ the question
● BOX the command word
● UNDERLINE the geography
● GLANCE-after you have made your plan, glance at the question. Are you still answering it?
● START
