Complete the 8 marker as discussed in the lesson today. Remember the mark balance - 4 for AO4 (use of data) and 4 for AO3 (analysis and explanation).

Suggested structure - three paragraphs, one for developed countries, one for emerging and one for developing (you can think about the order you think works best).  Within each paragraph, tell the story of the data (what are the key patterns and trends?) using lots of evidence from the graph (AO4), and then discuss the geographical ideas and processes that can be used to explain the trends (AO3). Really good AO2 will contain analytical elements (e.g. commentary on what you think are the most important explanatory factors).

Concepts you might like to consider in your explanations include: level and rate of urbanisation, early/accelerating/mature urbanisation phases, rural-urban migration, mechanisation of agriculture, shifts from primary to secondary industries (industrialisation), natural increase, counterurbanisation, starting level of urbanisation. 

Timing: in the real exam, this would be 10-12 minutes work, but for now, don't worry about timings at all. Spend your 40 minutes developing your answer and getting familiar with all the question requirements and tips for answering.

Either write directly onto the worksheet on your iPad or hand-write on pukka pad and upload scan to this page. If you word process exams you may word process and upload document to this page.
