Ownership @ 7:44 PM
I had several students last week looking for remedial and more homework, I am very happy to see that some of you are beginning to take ownership of your studies. I shared some suggestions with them that I would to share with the rest of you too. First of all, I like to point out I am not going to enforce or insist that you must do so, but I am strongly recommending it.Get into groups of 4 to 5 and buy external assesment books to do. That way you can split the cost of the book and you can come together to discuss your answers too. The benefits of doing this is 2 folds, firstly you can improve on your answering techniques on different types of questions and compare your answering with the answers at the back, secondly you become more confident in Geography and learn to take ownership of your studies.
Don't worry about trying questions that is outside of the chapters that I have not covered, it is fine, by taking the effort to move ahead of your teacher is exactly what I want, afterall it is all teacher's hope that their students become better than their teacher.
Here are some examples of books that you can try, don't worry I am not the companies sales representatives.
Longman Geography: Revsion Guide Sec 1
Penman's: Student's Companion Series, Geography Sec 1
I will try to look up for more other assessment books.
