1.2 LOG – Use this page to record and monitor the work you carry out (think of it as a diary). State if it was homework or classwork

Date: List all the work you have done here. i.e after prining out an OS map from the OS map website I cut out directional arrows to show the movement of beach material due to Longshore Drift. I also cut out small letters to highlight some of the coastal features found and stuck them on the OS map and photograph I collected for homework This was done for homework and took me less than 1 hour to complete Theme 7: Changing Coastlines Assessment 1#
