Y11-12 Pearson IAL Geography Transition booklet
This transition booklet has been designed to support students moving from IGCSE Geography into Pearson Edexcel International A Level Geography.
The step up to Y12 involves developing stronger analytical, evaluative and extended writing skills, alongside a deeper understanding of global issues. This booklet introduces these expectations through a series of structured tasks, helping students build confidence over summer and before starting the course.
Students will revisit key GCSE/IGCSE knowledge for Paper 1, section 1: Global Hazards and begin to apply it in a more advanced way, including:
Completing case studies
Interpreting data and geographical figures
Constructing clear, balanced arguments
Making supported judgements
Planning and completing a 10-mark extended writing question
By completing this booklet, students will develop the core skills required for success in IAS Geography and be better prepared for the demands of Y12.
