Revise: Geographical Writing and CommunicationGeographical writing helps a reader understand places, processes and evidence. Sometimes the task is to show what is happening. Sometimes it is to explain how or why it happens, or to examine how convincing an explanation is.
Relevant facts, observations or data used to support or challenge a claim.
If a question requires a figure, case study or your fieldwork, use specific evidence from it rather than relying on general statements.
Use accurate, relevant place-specific evidence when a question requires a studied example. Explain how each detail supports your argument.
A balanced argument need not give equal space or importance to every viewpoint: weigh their evidence.
