Good morning. You should have your Holocaust material home with you, so complete the task in there. Start to revise for the tests you will be sitting after the holidays. Here is a revision sheet to help you focus your revision: Download Holocaust-revision-helpsheet

Good morning. As I mentioned last Wednesday, there was a threat of further snow closures so most of you (but not all for some reason) have your material home with you. You can work through Section D. But another task which I think might be a bit more interesting working at home, is to research a famous Scot abroad and write a short biography of that person. Here is an IT task I made a while back to get you going: Download Scot-obituary

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.

Good morning. The last post still has the main focus for your work over the holiday period. It is very important that you don't fall behind. The collapse of the Weimar Republic/Rise of the Nazis should be your focus at the present, getting ready for the essay. ALSO, you should be giving the Extended Essay your attention.
You should print this out and read it sometime soon:

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!

Good Morning! (and if some of you missed the morning #fail)
You should be working through and completing the questions on the collapse of the Weimar Republic and the rise of the Nazis. (These questions on Chapter 10 can be found in a recent post). To help you understand proportional representation download this:
Download What_is_proportional_representation
Here is a summary of views on the reasons for the collapse of the Weimar Republic:

Here is the essay title and plan you will do on the Collapse of the Weimar Republic/Rise of the Nazis (to be done immediately after the holidays):

Chapter 11 Questions will appear on here soon.
Over the holidays, you need to get started on your Extended Essay. Here is the introduction to it and advice on how to go about the research:

Please don't let all this disruption slow us down any more. We are nearly two weeks behind where we should be. After the holidays, it gets intense!
Now get off Facebook and get on with it! ( High quality nagging here so don't waste it.)

Here is the simple powerpoint we looked at today. It is a very simple intro to the topic but some found it helpful.

Hello everyone. Hope you've finished Chapter 9 questions and making a start on the essay which will be done on Monday, weather permitting. I think you should work on the essay as much as you can, helping each other where possible.
However, you will need to get on with the Chapter 10 questions on Friday. In case the school is still closed or you can't get in here is the Chapter 10 questions for you to get with. Please pass on the message that ALL pupils should be visiting the website to keep up to date with work.

Any problems just e-mail me.
Keep focussed folks and get off Facebook!
