* If you are having a problem, ASK before the work is due in. Geographers do not bite! A member of staff is usually in M1 or M2 during lunchtime. * Do you know your TARGET LEVEL or GRADE for Geography? Have you read the Geography Level Descriptors or other support provided to help you produce work that pushes you towards you goals? * PEER or SELF ASSESSMENT. Let someone else read your work - does a friend honestly think that you have done your best work? Do you honestly think you have reached your target grade? * LITERACY or good communications. Proof read your work to check for errors. Does your work address the purpose, audience and style elements of the question. * The library and I.C.T. homework clubs are excellent places for help with homework. Go to use these facilities to find information or type your work neatly. Alternatively the librarians can help with almost any topic. They have heard 'every' question, and hardly ever eat students. * Please put a title and date on your homework, as it makes navigating around exercise books so much easier for you and your teacher.

This piece of coursework is being reviewed. Adding material about a place which you are familiar with can make a dry booky piece of work spring to life, both for you and the examiner. If you have any ideas about a subject which could be included here, please talk to a Geographer. 1). Cliffe Airport Proposal. The Government claims that the number of people who want to fly will continue to rise rapidly. They also say that Heathrow is getting too crowded, and that despite 2 terminals being added in recent years that the facilities are now old fashioned. The arguement is that if we are to continue to make London an international business and tourist centre then new airport space is required. They also say that we will loose out in the race for the transfer market (i.e. people simply changing planes and not stopping) to airports like Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. So what are the options. a. New runway and terminal on land currently covered by housing at Heathrow. b. An second runwat at Gatwick. c. Expansion at Luton. d. Major development at Stansted. e. A brand new airport at Cliffe. So what, Cliffe is many k.m. away! Well an aeroplane will be going past Gravesend at only a few hundred feet every 90 seconds. The roads to get to the airport would pass through the rural gap just east of Chalk. Interested yet?
