2. ASSESSMENT

3. Find a resource that allows the application of a skill – use of maps

4. ASSESSMENT a)Use the resource to describe Changes in the distribution of beech and oak in Japan. Recognition of changes. Development using the resource

5. ASSESSMENT b) Outline the two potential impacts of rising sea levels on people. Allows candidates to choose the areas with which they are more confident. Limits the amount they have to recall and allows better candidates to develop knowledge and understanding in depth. Allows the use of exemplar material form different areas. Allows candidates to choose which impacts they want – social, demographic or economic. Potential allows future impacts that may have been studied.

6. ASSESSMENT Looking for: ― Knowledge and understanding ― Address the question ― Structuring of answer ― Use of examples ― Application of knowledge – if sea level rises then............. ― Precision – not generalised ― Use of diagrams where appropriate ― Balance ― QWE

7. ASSESSMENT c) Discuss the success of strategies used to address climate change by either: international bodies or pressure groups and individuals

8. ASSESSMENT Looking for: ― Knowledge and understanding ― Address the question ― Discussion/evaluation ― Structuring of answer ― Use of examples ― Application of knowledge ― Precision – not generalised ― Use of diagrams where appropriate ― Balance ― QWE

9. ASSESSMENT a)Compare the flood hydrographs shown in the resource. Looking for: Comparison comments Use of resource – detail from the data

10. ASSESSMENT b) Outline the information you would collect, and how you would collect it, for an investigation into the variation of land uses between two small adjacent drainage basins. Looking for: Data to be collected Sampling techniques Data sources Data collection sheets These are possible approaches

11. ASSESSMENT c) Outline the methods used to present data for an investigation into changing physical environments that you have completed. Looking for Knowledge of methods Appropriate use of the methods Evaluation may be a feature of better answers
