Y11 Geography Homework
Unit: A1.9 Title: Key words Week 2
This is your only timetable chance to get your head around the keywords. Here they are and all appear either on http://ih-igcse-geography.wikispaces.com/1+River+environments or on the links found at the end of that page. My suggestion would be to use the template over – and fill the word and the answer in adjacent squares (one has been done) – then cut the page in half vertically. Fold each half so the word and the answer are absolutely on opposite sides, glue and cut into individual cards and use to test yourselves when you have a bit of time – get a box or safe place to keep them – after all that work you do not want to loose them! I will not be testing you – this is revision. But I will be on call for anyone who is stuck over a particular word!
