See the information or click on the links below that apply to you.

Year 7
Choose one country you have heard about this term in Geography (it could be from your Passport to the World homework or class work) and make a Geographical factfile about it e.g. where it is in the world, what countries surround it, what oceans it borders, ths size of its population.  What is its natural environment like?  Does it have any mountain ranges or large rivers?  Does it have any unique wildlife?  You can complete your factfile with any Geographical information you can find and in any format.   Please make sure it is neat and well presented.
 
Year 8 - the next ecosystem we are going onto study are Coral Reefs.  Do some research to find out as much as you can about coral reefs e.g. where they are found globally, what are coral reefs?  What living and non living things make up the ecosystem (plants, fish etc), what conditions do coral reefs need in order to survive?  Are Coral reefs under threat? Why?  How can they be protected?  Present your research in any format. Please make sure it is neat and well presented.
 
GCSE Geography - We are studying the Natural Hazard of Drought.  Research the different methods that can be used to manage the hazard in both MEDCs and LEDCs.  Your case studies are Spain and The Sahel region of Africa.  You could find out how these regions manage drought.  Try to find out a variety of examples both 'hi tech' and 'low tech'.  Bring your research to your next lesson. 
 
AS - Mrs Parish - You should be revising, you have a test before Christmas.  Make sure you learn your key work definitions, factors affecting population change, population structure, the balance between population and resources.  You must focus on the exam technique that we have been working on - use the exam questions you have answered this term.  Practise them again by re writing the answers to improve them, remember to refer to the mark shcemes you have to guide you.  
 
A2 - Mrs Parish -  Work your way through the items in the Advanced Information Booklet. 

1.  We are moving on to study Item 2 in class.  Read this carefully and follow it up with research about the regenation projects in Belfast e.g. use the websites given in the booklet to study Laganside and Victoria Square.  Familiarise yourself with the variety of projects that were established there and consider how successful they have been.  What evidence can you find to support your argument about their success ror failure?   

2.  Answer this exam question:  ' Study the information provided in Item 1 of the Advanced Information Booklet.  a)  Describe and explain the impact that manufacturing decline might have had upon the city of Belfast.  (6 marks)
