Geography Revision Homework
Revise Key terminology and formations = READ, COVER, WRITE, REPEAT.
e.g. Create a revision card. Turn it over. Parent tests you. Practice again until you can recall.
Create a case study revision poster or a revision clock.
Practice a geographical skill – cartographic/graphical/statistical.
Allow 20-30 minute sessions at a time. 2-3 times per week
