16 LEARNING EACH CASES STUDY IS ESSENTIAL…..

17 LEARNING EACH CASE STUDY IS ESSENTIAL…..

18 Getting the most out of revision Case study questions are worth the most amount of marks: Foundation = 6 marks Higher = 8 marks

19 Without a case study, they can only get max 4/6 (Foundation) or 4/8 (Higher) No need to learn everything but know FACTS. Use the term ‘This means that….’ A useful reminder when revising is to ask ‘SO WHAT?’ after they have told you a fact. E.g. In Kobe, Japan they built new buildings far apart from each other SO THAT…..there won’t be a domino effect if one building falls down in the next earthquake. CASE STUDIES ARE ESSENTIAL

20 What to learn? At least one fact from each section. Make the link (e.g. 6500 people died because of buildings collapsing on them).

21 ROWS RATHER THAN COLUMNS….
