Year 11 Geography First 100% Test

In Year 11 Geography students were challenged to complete their first 100% skills test. This means that students had to complete 20 difficult geographic skills questions and get every single answer correct. The trick? Collaboration – students were able to use their peers as resources as well as the Year 11 Geography Canvas page. Students shared their notes and navigated their way through the test by determining each student’s strengths. Finally, they confirmed all their test answers as a class to ensure that each student was able to achieve 100%.

Below is student feedback during the activity:

‘It was great to communicate with others while developing our exam readiness skills and I feel more prepare for the block Week 9.’ – Jade (Year 11)

‘It challenged us because we knew that we had to get to 100% so we worked as a team to achieve this outcome.’ – Zahli (Year 11)

‘I like that we do regular quizzes to build up confidence leading into the exam block.’ – Esther (Year 11)

Below is also a snapshot of images which document their process.

Developing students’ problem solving, and collaborations skills is a key focus for the Human Society and Its Environment department. Congratulations to the Year 11 Geography class for working together as a team to receive an optimal response.
