A reminder that revision materials are available on Firefly.
If you're reading this and you're in Year 8, stop reading this and go and do some revision :)
How do you revise ?
It's worth thinking about the strategies that you use now, as assessment is going to form a regular part of your school life.
Think critically about what helps you remember the facts, but also to make sense of the material. One important thing of course, is that you've taken care with your book, and put as much effort as possible into each piece of work so far this year... I have to say that means that there are some of you who may need the additional supporting material.
Remember that the questions are designed to get you writing and thinking, and aren't really about factual recall of numbers and places... Information can be obtained from a range of places, what's important in geography is to be able to take some information and make sense of it, and make some decisions about what it is telling you, and what else you might need to find...
You'll need to know quite a lot about Antarctica and its geography, what makes Polar regions so cold, and the reasons why people go to work there.... These are places that are threatened too... What are those threats and how can they be managed?
Remember to ask if you need any particular support with revision...
