Synopsis

GCSE Geography for WJEC Specification B is an exciting and motivating course designed to help students develop the abilities required to achieve exam success for the latest WJEC Specification B.

WJEC Specification B is a direct development of the popular Avery Hill course and retains its issue-based, investigative approach to geography based around three themes:
1. Challenges of living in a built environment;
2. People and the natural world interactions;
3. People, work and development.

Each theme includes:
- activities using real-place data, maps, photographs and ICT resources to develop students' geographical investigative and analytical skills
- examination tips to help students avoid common pitfalls, written by a WJEC examiner
- integrated case studies of relevant LEDC and MEDC locations such as Ghana, Mali, Iceland and the UK
- a problem-solving exercise at the end of each theme to help students to develop the skills required for the cross-unit Paper 2 study
- 'Going Further' features to extend students' learning and to to help them to research geography in greater depth
