This document provides guidance for students on the data presentation and report production portion of a GCSE controlled assessment unit worth 15 marks. It outlines the requirements to achieve different mark levels from 0 to 15. To receive the highest marks, students need to include a range of appropriate data presentation methods such as graphs from their questionnaire and traffic survey data. They should present techniques neatly and clearly with titles and labeled axes. Students should also consider creative ways of representing data, such as graphs placed on a map or using GIS mapping software. The document provides examples of what is required to score well and receive maximum marks.

GCSE Unit 3 Controlled Assessment – Data presentation Data presentation and report production (15 marks) Limited Control Mark What you need to reach the ‘level’ 0 • Data presentation techniques not used • Report is not structured 1-3 • Basic range or only partially attempts to present data in a relevant way • Limited to very basic techniques that may be incomplete, with no attention to detail or finishing • GIS not included • Limited organisation and structure • Weak style of writing including many spelling and grammatical errors • Geographical terminology not used 4-7 • Basic range of techniques to present data • Errors in technical correctness and finishing • GIS is included but may not be relevant • Organisation and structure is inadequate • Errors in spelling and punctuation sometimes included • Work is readable • Use of geographical terminology is included but basic 8-11 • Good range of appropriate data presentation methods, although they may not always be technically correct • Presentation techniques are nearly always clear and complete • GIS use is relevant and clear • Well organised and structured report, and linked to the enquiry sequence • Grammar, punctuation and spelling errors are few • Geographical terminology is used and is generally accurate 12-15 • Good range of appropriate data-presentation methods which are fit for purpose • Techniques are neat and clear, possibly including some original ideas • GIS use is clear and supports the report • Organised and well-structured report showing the sequence of enquiry followed • Clear and accurate use of geographical terminology In order to gain maximum marks, you need to: • Include a range of appropriate data presentation methods (this means include different types of graph). You must represent all your data from your questionnaire and traffic survey. It is easiest to do this using Excel. You will need to put the data from your tallied questionnaires into Excel and create graphs from it. You will be able to find the traffic data on the subject website (www.sites.google.com/a/kings-wton.co.uk/geography/Home/mr-greens-page-1). Create graphs from this to show how the traffic has moved around Bridgnorth at different places throughout the day. • Present your data techniques in a neat and clear style e.g. all need a title and the axis labelled (you should also include a table of the data below the graph). You should copy and paste all your graphs and tables onto a word document. You should try to fit two graphs to a page (along with their tables). • Think creatively about how you can represent your data. Could you create graphs and stick them in appropriate places around a map of Bridgnorth? Could you do this using GIS (use www.digimapforschools.edina.ac.uk to help with GIS username: WV68XG password: fraena84)? Could you use symbols to represent you data on a Bridgnorth map?
