 * The is a long PP as it contains all the review material + the section we missed out last term. This part is at the beginning and so it is unlikely that we will review the stuff we did before in one lesson. Hence, there are only notes for that first section in the class notes. **
 * Class notes:[[file:Y11GeRev4 Urban rev CWwk25.doc]] **
 * Homework: Revision will be the official homework this week. However, I have attached 2 exam questions which you may like to try and email to me? I know some people find it easier to check they understand a topic more easily by doing them. Entirely up to you as to what is most helpful. **

= The down hill road to the exams for 2011 =

Please note I have combined Unit 4 ( economic activity ) and U6 (Urban environments) as we only have this week and next, as your exams start the following Friday. However, I do not expect to get through ALL of this, this week. I will prepare a shorter version of fragile environments to attached to whatever is left from this week. So there is a lot of printing for this week - sorry about that - but do be sure to hang onto the part of the print out that we do not use this week as I will not be re-issuing it. Textbook wiki links: http://ih-igcse-geography.wikispaces.com/4+Economic+activity+and+energy and http://ih-igcse-geography.wikispaces.com/6+Urban+environments

Some people asked for exam papers to look at:
Remember that your paper is likey to take parts of each type of question from Foundation and from higher, so look at both versions of each question - also not that we have only covered these questions on the papers you will see below in pdf: qu1, 2, 3( but ignore any farming questions), 6 and 7. I would suggestion you open them up and print off and hand write into the spaces provided for practice - to get an idea of how much space is there. DO NOT wildly over-run space provided - a line or 2 is OK but not more than that - Alec - please note!!! The exception is the last part of any question which is this exam is worth 6 marks - so they give you 12 lines ( 2 lines a point!) You will get similar questions but these are worth 9 marks so they give you 18 lines to write on! Anyone who wants me to look over their efforts, please scan and email or you can always snail mail to The Coach House Gwardolau, Rhayader, Powys LD6 5HA.

An interesting question that causes a bit of a problem in week 25: // (Remember to avoid using any of the the 3 words you are being asked about **in the context of that answer** - note I used 'natural' but only in the context of disaster.) //
 * What is the difference between a natural hazard and a disaster? **
 * A natural hazard is the potential of a physical event not created by man to cause harm, whereas a disaster is an event that has caused harm, whether natural or man-made. **
 * If a bit more is required: **
 * In terms of when something is labelled a disaster from a political point of view, it can be defined as causing more than 10 deaths, injuring more than 100 people, and/or causing US$16,000,000 of damage **

__**Revision 1 Rivers**__ **PowerPoint**: For this week anyway - see how it works - we will talk about possibly 4 questions in class and then the homework will be the 5th + one of the ones we have talked about. During the lesson and also in the homework issue it will tell you what we decided. So for example say you are to do qu 4 and qu 5 for homework, then the issue will tell you to open the CW_HW doc and delete Nos 1 - 3 and then write into the document the answers to 4 & 5. **Cl****ass** **notes/Homework:** **Textbook wiki links: http://ih-igcse-geography.wikispaces.com/1+River+environments**
 * Objectives: to answer the following questions **
 * ** To pick out command words - Explain, describe, evidence etc, **
 * ** To get used to putting in examples of ideas wherever possible **
 * **Understanding what is going on inside the examiner's head!**

__**Revision 2 Hazards**__ **PowerPoint**: We will talk about possibly 5 questions in class and then the homework will be another one + one of the ones we have talked about. During the lesson and also in the homework issue it will tell you what we decided. **Cl****ass** **notes:** **Homework: ** **Textbook wiki links: http://ih-igcse-geography.wikispaces.com/3+Hazardous+environments**
