Developing our skills: Note Taking

1. Why do we need to learn the skill of note-taking?
Note-taking is a great skill to have because it will help you in many aspects of life. Whether you are at school or college note-taking is useful almost everywhere. Also it makes it easier to revise things you learnt a while back.
2. Top tips for taking notes
- Make them short
- Use key terms
- Make sure you know the meaning of all the key terms
3. Reflecting
    a) What are the issues with my note taking?
    Sometimes people get carried away and use text rather than just making sentences shorter.
    b) How can I overcome these?
    Try your hardest to make sure you do not use text incase you forget what it stood for and get stressed          out before the exam.
4. My targets for improvising my note taking.
Make sure the short forms of words I use I understand exactly what they mean.
Make up my own consistant ways to remember things.

Continental drift theory

Pangea USGS
Pangea - Super continent - when the earths continents were joined together.


Gondwanaland - When the earths continents really started to separate from each other.


Earth's continents in future - If the earth maintains the movements of plates and continental drift then the earth will eventually, I believe turn out to look something like this.

Introduction to GEO questions.

Why Have you chosen GCSE geography?

I have chosen GCSE geography because I have lived all around the world and enjoy learning about different cultures and natural disasters around the world.

I am hoping to learn a lot about plates and natural disasters e.g. how they start.
