Revision with Audio Bitesize

Now that the prelim exams are over for those of you in Form 4, you should be starting to plan a serious revision strategy for the period leading up to the Standard Grade exam in May. Not everyone finds reading notes the best way to revise. Some people learn best by listening and so the BBC Bitesize Geography website now has some audio revision bites. You can listen to them online or download them to your MP3 player. Click on the logo to the left to link to the page. Here is the list of topics relevant to S Grade Geography which are currently available :

Population: Ageing populations
Settlement: Shopping hierarchy
Changes in a river's course from source to mouth
Human use of glaciated areas
Formation of a glacial trough
Adaptation of vegetation to tropical climate
Economic activity
Industry: Decline of heavy industry in More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs)
Agriculture: Diversification in UK farms
Agriculture: Factors affecting farming
Challenge of development
Foreign aid

P.S. A friend of mine who teaches Geography in Somerset is trying to get some feedback about the podcasts from pupils. If you use the podcasts, please link to this site http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=452083399864 and complete the questionnaire. Note ....you are Year 11 if you are in Form 4.
