GCSE Geography OCR A

The lively and innovative approach to the new GCSEs

Why choose the new OCR A specification?

The new GCSE Geography OCR A specification is energetic and innovative and looks at geography from a new perspective:

• Emphasizes a range of issues facing today's society - so students understand the relevance of their geographical studies to their lives and the real world
• Gives the opportunity to combine geographical, general, and vocational elements of study, or to follow a more traditional 'academic' approach
• Flexible enough to offer both a unitized (modular) or linear learning approach, and students can re-sit if necessary

GCSE Geography OCR A matches this new specification and gives you all the help and support you need:

• Packed full of original case studies and the most up-to-date material, making it relevant to all your students
• Is flexible, provides plenty of choice, and contains motivating and creative work to engage all your students
• It gives excellent support for the Secondary Strategy and PLTS, including starters and plenaries and help with implementing assessment for learning
• Language is student-friendly to suit a wide range of abilities, as well as remaining exam-focused throughout

"Wow! A geography textbook designed to meet the requirements of an innovative 21st Century Specification. The activities are impressive as they all involve the development of creative, critical, independent learning. The tasks involve 'exploration, investigation, interpretation, comparisons and the application of learning 2 learn." - Louise Ellis, Stopsley High School

"I bought the OCR A Geography text book because I've been teaching the Pilot course on which it is based ever since it started. The book is full of good examples of applied geography - case studies that students will be enthused by and be able to relate to. For a book that covers a whole two-year course it's good value for money" - Graham Senior, Christs College Guildford
