How to Become a Super Geographer.

Picture
Your assessments and project work will be marked according to the IST Secondary School marking rules.
 
A* - Exceptionally strong knowledge and understanding
A - Very strong knowledge and understanding
B – Strong knowledge and understanding
C - Sound knowledge and understanding
D – Some knowledge and understanding
E - Basic knowledge and understanding
F - Rudimentary knowledge and understanding



If my work is marked with a KUSP code /10 what does it mean?
10 is the maximum mark and you should be aiming for the highest grade possible. But if you see a K, U, S or P, what do they mean? 

K is for Knowledge
Have I recalled? Found the facts? Is it detailed? Is it complete?

U is for Understanding
Have I shown I understand what I have been taught? Can I interpret information? Have I explained?

S – is for Skills
Am I good at map skills? Can I use evidence effectively?

P is for Presentation
Have I taken care with my handwriting and diagrams? Have I written in pen and drawn in pencil?  Have I proof read it or done a spell check if I have used the computer? Titles underlined? Name and form included? 

Here is a copy of the recording sheet where you will record your assessment results.

Getting Started with Mission:Explore 

Getting started with Mission:Explore

Mission:Explore is an external website that we love our Year 7, 8 & 9 Geographers to be part of. 

Here's the deal.......

If you are under the age of 13 (Year 7 & 8), you have to get the permission of your parents or your teacher to join up. Whilst we give you permission, we like to give your parents the final decision. Below is a letter that we would like you to take home and study carefully. Have a good look through the website too. There are some amazing missions on there. 

To give you permission, you will need a short note in your planner that says the following: 

I give permission for (your name) to begin life as an explorer. 

Please ask your parents to add their autograph underneath and date too.
