10AX Similarities and Differences My Place Homework Oct 13th 2010

Year 10 please complete your homework by Thursday Oct 21st.

Your task is to sell your place- the London Borough of Camden!

You have been given a campaign by Camden Borough Council to design an advert that will go on trains around the country, the TV , the Internet or in foreign newspapers to encourage people to come to live in the borough. You firstly need to decided who your target audience will be. Possibilities are UK Students, the working population from other parts of the UK, or tourists coming to visit the UK, foreign migrants or parents wanting to relocate to give their children better educational opportunities.

You then need to decide if your advert is to go on a train, in a newspaper, Internet or on the TV.

Your task is to encourage the Target audience to move to Camden. You could use PowerPoint, publisher or movie maker. You might want to research other adverts

Year 11 Controlled Assessment

Miss Chadwick's Group

Your first mini deadline for your CA2 is Wednesday 29th September 2010. By this date you must have completed:

• Your Front Cover
• Your Introduction - including location maps, and an explanation of why the area was chosen
• Columns 1 & 2 in your Methods Table.

Please come and see me in B216 if you have any problems completing any of these tasks. Should you need access to a computer, feel free to drop in and use the ones in my room.

Electronic versions of the maps, photos and other resources will be available on the student shared drive in school.

Happy New Year!

Miss Scott and Miss Chadwick are looking forward to starting lessons with the new Year 10's and welcoming back Year 11's on Monday. We hope you have had geographical summers! Well done to Year 11 , there were some excellent module results- special congratulations to Chelsea who achieved an A grade, Ghelbi, Muneer, Tezar and Nadiur for achieving B grades.

Haverstock go to Overstrand

At the end of June 8 lucky Year 10's joined Miss Chadwick and Miss Scott at Overstrand in Norfolk for four days. They had the opportunity to learn about coastal management along the North Norfolk Coast, investigate how rivers change and see the impact tourism has had on the area. I am sure they will all agree that they learnt far more by visiting the area rather than being in the classroom.

There was plenty of time for relaxation and fun with games of aeroball, laser quest, archery, a leap of faith, a camp fire with pizza, riddles and dancing and even a (disappointing) England Match. Miss Scott and Miss Chadwick were a bit concerned about their ability to teach when Mark said he was looking forward to going back to England! Thanks Year 10's for making the trip so much fun! Look out for application letters for February's Morocco trip after work experience.

Good Luck

Good luck to all of you tomorrow. See you at 11am for revision and warm up!

Mock Preparation

As you know your Geography Yr10 Mock exam is on Friday 15th of May so you have a week of preparation. The exam lasts and hour and will cover all the issues we have looked at since September on Differences and Similarities. So get preparing- you need to revise all of the work we have covered on Camden and The Swahili Coast in Tanzania.

Good luck to all of you
Miss Chadwick and Miss Scott
