S4 - Intermediate History Pupils. Snow Closure

Morning,

Please have Free at Last completed before tomorrow. Have a look through the BBC Class Clips on this topic. 

Also, many Int2 pupils have much work to do on their Extended Response. 

See you all tomorrow.

Mr D.

S4 - Intermediate History

If you have some time today, trawl the internet for the numerous and varied material on the non-violent protests of the civil rights movement. 

Also, get on with your Extended Response. Plan your essay - what factors will make up the main section? Start to take some notes.

S4 - Extended Response

Next week all Int2 pupils MUST hand in a full 1st draft of their Extended Response. You have been working on this since January and you have no excuses for not producing your best work. We will be using the following marking instructions to mark them so I advise you to have a look at what we will be looking for.

S4 History snow closure 20th December '10

Good morning. Mr Parker's class may have been given some instructions but generally, you should be working on Free at Last (if you don't have your stuff at home - why not??). Int2 pupils should be starting to consider their Extended Response (see my previous post of the 17/12/10). We can't fall behind any further so please work and keep up. 

Int 2 History Pupils - snow closure work advice.

More snow and closures but please don't fall further behind. These are not holidays; they are days of learning and exam preparation missed, so don't waste them.

You need to start thinking about the Extended Response, so here is the help sheet to help you get started:

Just in case this cold spell and snow showers continue, here is some work to keep you up to date.

You could be working through the Free at Last Questions, so work through as many as you can.

If you can find past paper questions to do, then do as many as you can.

Here is a website worth spending time on.

 

S5 Int2 pupils should be working through the Germany unit and doing as many past paper questions as possible.

Focus and stay busy!

S4 History Help for the prelims

Hi! Sorry I missed you last week and now the snow is preventing us from meeting up. What I can do here is to remind you of a few things I went over just before the prelims started.

1. You should have your Immigrants and Exiles and Wallace and Bruce stuff all at home ready to revise. That includes the revision booklets and Study Skills booklet. Lost it? Don't fear, somewhere in this site you'll find electronic copies (click on S3 or S4 on the right and go through the pages till you find them.)
2. Your prelim will cover everything we did on Immigrants and Exiles and Wallace and Bruce. Int 2 pupils will do ONE essay (you have a choice of two) and 6 questions. You will find all the types of questions you have practiced in class, namely, 'How Useful', Compare, 5 mark source and a 5 mark KU only with no source. Int 1 pupils have to do 8 questions which are made up using 'How Useful questions' and 3 and 4 mark source questions.
3. Revise actively! Draw, make summary diagrams, storyboards, puzzles and make up quizzes with the answers.
4. Do as many past papers as possible. When you discover a question you're not sure about, then revise that section again. Don't forget to check the SQA website for marking schemes of past papers. 
5. Use websites to help - try clicking on 'My Del.icio.us' on the right to get going. BBC have some good stuff. Neil Oliver's 'Scotland's History' is good for Wallace and Bruce. Don't forget about all the resources on here!
6. Int2 pupils - you should practice essay introductions and make essay plans. Also, do an essay fully in 18-20 minutes just to make sure you can!
7. Help each other. Get in contact through the various social networks that you use. Pass on or remind pupils about this site's address.
8. Most importantly of all, don't let this weather hiccup break your revision discipline. Stay focused.

Good luck.
