[Stressed MEGZ]

Hi all

Just thought I would tell you a few things that i used to have trouble with in geo (still do sometimes! I got 2o out of 2o for my ecosystems at risk essay on the Great barrier reef's (resilience, vulnerabiltity, management strategies etc. I could not believe it! to get high marks, I have been told to,

• check grammar and word check
• Have a flowing introduction that summarises your argument
• Annotate all included diagrams, images etc.
• Have statistics
• Reference all information using right methods
• Don't do it the night before, gradually build it
• hand it in to the teacher or another geo teacher as a draft for them to tell you that you are on the right track or not.
• synthesise and sustain your argument
• if you do the hard work, you will achieve
• use geo terminology and use advanced vocabulary
• listen in class
• read over your notes or textbook with info relating to the content of your assignment.
• do your reseach (usefulness, reliability etc
• you should reach the amount of words required and in most cases, teachers dont mind if you want to go over.
