Cover Work for Year 12D & 12B Miss Kent and Mrs Steels classes

Hi AS year 12 Geographers!

While we are both away with our year 11's collecting data for their controlled assessment, please read this information for what you need to do while we are away.

For Mrs Steels class - 12B you will need to go and find your cover work.  She has left it at the front of the classrooms you normally have Geography in (Thursday periods 4&5 rm16 and Friday period 5 room 17).

For me (Miss Kent!) 12D - normally you would have a double lesson periods 2&3 on Friday.  I would like you to complete the following tasks:

(1)  Read the skills focus section on page 118 of the textbook.  Answer question one - quote lots of figures in your answer.
(2)  Answer the following question: 'Why are some places in the world 'switched off'?'  Use pages 118-119 to help you answer, please also carry out extra research to add to your answer - I do not just want info from the textbook.  eg. think about unfair trade.
(3)  I would like you to start putting together information on the following places:  Africa/China/India.  You are going to decide which of these places is 'switched on' and which are 'switched off'.  The type of information to look for is: World bank data - to look at development indicators eg. GDP, infant mortality etc.  Pull together half a page of A4 information for each place.
(4)  Come prepared to use this information at the start of the lesson on Monday the 8th of October.

12B - normally you would be period 4 on Friday.  I would like you to complete the following task:

The same as class 12D above - only points 3&4 ONLY as you have already completed points 1&2!

Please bring all this work with you on Monday/Tuesday when I see you all next.

See you next week,

Miss Kent :-)
