Year+8+Assessment+May+2009

The Year 8 Geography Assessment is marked out of 70 marks and is a one hour assessment. The topics are Primary Activity, Secondary Activity and Environmental Concerns and this corresponds to Chapters 2, 3 an 4 in your green text books. The assessment may also test experiences in and work done on the expedition to the EcoFarm in Shanghai.

NB: The terms //activity// and //industry// are both used and here they mean the same thing.

You need to study the following: Chapter 2 Primary Activities: PP24-39 Chapter 3 Secondary Activities: PP44-50, 52-53, 62-65 Chapter 4 Environmental Concerns: PP66-81

Activities on the organic farm we visited.

Remember that geography is about learning skills as well as facts, so it is fair that you be asked to use skills you have learnt to write about situations that you have not seen before.

Here is a revision booklet for geography. These are also available on paper from Dr Lee. Ask in class or at any suitable time.

Good luck. Dr Lee.
