Tectonics and development and globalisation.

I feel like sustainable tourism is going to feature on the paper this year, possible LDC'S and maybe the development continuum?
What case studies are you doing for sustainable tourism?

Yeah continuum has never featured! Ibiza and aldamaar

Yes, but I think they'll link planned and unplanned species to a figure. Why wouldn't they do characteristics as a 10 marker? There's lots to talk about and lots of case study info. I could write 3 pages on it

Oh I could totally write 10 marks, I was just wondering as it's only ever been an 8 marker

Ibiza sounds interesting! For sustainable tourism i'm doing
1) Great Barrier Reef (in lots of detail)
And the mini case studies include:
- Aldamar Hotels
- Masi Mara Wildlife park
- Thomas Cook
- The Galapagos Islands

Do you think that is enough? that is part of my additional reading to make it more synoptic

what for a 40 marker?

Yes for a 40 marker.
Also, forgot to mention, Lake district is also another example im gonna use.

Also for world cities I feel like for the structured answers:
1) Property led regeneration could come up
2) Urban decline - causes
3) Reasons for out of town retailing
4) Urbanisation and reurbanisation as these are the processes that have not come up before.

Oh I'm doing globalisation and development as a short question! That's why I only have 2 case studies... But it looked like you have more then enough!

How would a dev continuum essay be worded? What kind of Q could they ask other than a 7 marker.??

What are your predictions for tectonics

Ecosystems
7 marker - unplanned / planned species
8 marker - animal adaptations
10 marker - tropical biome characteristics

What grade does everyone need in geography? How did you all do last year?

Posted from TSR Mobile

awesome thanks a lot :smile:

I want an overall B, i got a C last year but that was due to a really low grade (i cant remember what) bringing down my A in the physical paper. I re-took it before half term though so hopefully that'll bring up my grade.

I was thinking a 8 marker:
Explain the term 'development continuum' (8)
This question is in the textbook at the back

Yeah it might be an 8... There is not enough for a 40
