Friday 5th January 2007

Today's lesson is really a chance to go over any issues arising from your holiday exam preparation and to look at your Geog PDSA's.

To give a focus I set the following objective for part of the lesson. They were to use a range of revision techniques to ensure that these learning objectives could be met:
  • You will know what factors characterise the tropical and boreal forests & will be able to describe & explain their distribution around the globe.
  • You should be able to describe and explain how the vegetation has adapted to the environment in both types of forest.
  • You should also be able to describe and explain the conflicts of interest within a named area of tropical rainforest.

The following resources may also be useful to you
S-Cool is good, as usual. Look on both the GCSE & A level section.
For more detail on forest biomes look at The Blue Planet Biomes website.
Worth looking for details of specific projects that e.g. the Rainforest Foundation is working on.

Remember to make sure that your revision is focused, specific and active, practice drawing the diagrams, labelling maps, mind mapping case studies........ Check that you understand key terms and command words Know it All takes a fresh look at study techniques. Not seen this one before but it looks interesting. See you next Friday. I will post another blog before then. Good Luck!
