You have your folders and a blue revision guide that I gave you before we left at the start of confinement. If you need anything else over the holidays, please let me know either by Teams or send me an email. All our work is on geographypods and is laid out in the order that we studied it. Please consult the pages on the website to refresh your knowledge.

I will post an example Paper 1 & mark scheme on Teams in the next few days so that you can see what Question 1 & 2 look like. Of course, you can ignore the rest of the Paper 1 (Question 3 ? 6) because you are not going to be tested on those sections.

Work hard.

Mr Podbury
