"As A2 students you have been given homework over the last few weeks to build up to this assessment. Some of you will have completed it (Adam - well done!), some of you will have done some, some of you will have no evidence whatsoever.
If you have been up to date with your homework you will breeze through this and not have a great deal to do over Easter - a lot of this is just 'building on' the remaining approach to the Case Studies you have studied.
If you have not been regularly completing the homework this is the time when you realise just how unprepared you are and how this will look on your Results
This will assess how effective your preparation has been as an A Level student and how ready you are to attempt the Mock Exam question - we will be sitting the Mock Exam session 1.
The outcome of this will be an indicator of who I need to target with after school support to put into place in the remaining time we have left in Module 5"
