This flexible revision resource includes a PowerPoint, revision notes and tips, and revision strips of 10 memorable images. The PowerPoint can be used to present the information, to model how to learn it, for a revision starter or plenary, or for peer or self-assessment.

The resource is based on the memorisation techniques of dual coding and retrieval practice. It was created to support the Eduqas B GCSE geography specification, but it may also be applicable to other exam boards.

Students can annotate the picture strips or use them to test recall, either orally or in writing. They ​​​​​​can then write answers to the six- and eight-mark exam-style questions. Assessment grids for peer marking or self-marking are provided.

Revision notes

Application of knowledge is important. Learn these 10 facts and apply them to your six- and eight-mark questions.

The Lake District is in the North West of England, within Cumbria.

It was designated a national park in 1951, and this means the land is protected.

There are 16 lakes (largest: Windermere) and more than 150 high peaks (highest: Scafell Pike, 978 m).

42,000 people live within the Lake District.

It attracts over 12 million visitors annually, mostly walkers.

89% of people arrive by car – parking and congestion are major issues.
