Year 13:
Hopefully Mr W will have collected your c/w yesterday. If not, please find him to give it to him! Ensure both Antarctica & small scale case study are complete. Apply the potential threats & values framework to your small scale case study. Compare it to the one you did of Antarctica. What additional examples do you need to illustrate all threats? All values? Complete additional research to fill these gaps. See you on Friday.

Whatever 'normal' means?

This is where the blog will get more complicated as I will be teaching the 'rural' component to the Tuesday/ Wednesday group & the 'urban' component to the Thursday/ Friday group. I will label

all posts with 'Year 12' and either 'rural' or 'urban'.
