It’s the 21 April. Your first exam is on the 14 May. As you can see there is not long left! Keep on revising … in class we will be going over one topic per lesson. Remember, you have 10 topics to know, five for each exam. As you know, I like using mindmaps as a revision technique, but there are many more.
Wealth and Poverty - You could use this GCSE Bitesize to help you revise.
Matters of Life and Death: Life after Death and the Sanctity of Life.
Remember to visit the Edexcel site - link on Useful Webpages page.
Keep asking questions if you are stuck! Either here, as a comment, or during class, or find me after school.

Another reminder that the Unit C (Year 11) exam is on 14 May, and the Unit J (Year 10) exam is on 19 May.
Until then, every one of you should have the Year 10 and/or Year 11 revision guides, as well as the Revision Booklets which will help you go through the Revision Guides.
I am going to try and make some podcasts for you that can be downloaded onto mp3 players so that the audio learners amongst you can learn on the move by listening rather than just reading. Watch this space!
Click on the links below to listen to some revision notes. Drop me a comment to let me know if they are useful or not!
