Higher History Prelim help Podcasts

I'm also at home today due to snow, but actually that means I can do so much more at home on the webpage that I can't do in school so I have made two podcasts to help you get ready for tomorrow. It also means I will get going on marking the NAB and not waste hours driving in poor road conditions!

I hope you have a decent internet connection but I have also put the transcript of these two podcasts on called 'Some Higher History Revision Help' . Let me know if there are any problems with the podcasts. Also, spread the word around via texts etc. Good Luck.

Best to play the 'General' one first.

Snow Closure Work for Higher pupils

Happy New Year!

 

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

 

You should be working through these questions:

 

Download Chapt 11THE NAZI DICTATORSHIP

 

I don’t remember giving you an essay plan for the Nazi topic, so here is the one we will do (if I did give you an essay plan, could someone let me know please?):

 

Download How Far did the Nazi Regime depend on fear rather than popular support for maintaining their control of Germany between 1933 

 

As regards, the prelim, you will have to do one essay question on the British topic and one on the Germany topic, so prepare one of each and make it your best one yet. Practice your introduction (see previous help on this); plan the main part and ensure there is analysis and judgements with a quote or two; make sure your conclusion pulls together your judgements and tackles the question.

 

You need to start thinking about the Extended Essay, so here is two help sheets to help you get started:

Extended Essay first draft marking criteria

When you get your first draft back all marked by me, you will get a copy of an SQA grid that I use to judge the grade. It will show how I allocated the marks. To understand the criteria used click on the link below. It is well worth looking at this to see how to get an A grade.

Higher: Liberal Reform Essay Plan

Here is the plan I gave you this week for the Liberal Esay. Remember, this is an essay on why the government felt the need to bring in reforms after years of laissez-faire, not an essay on what reforms they brought in and how effective they were. To be done on Monday 15th under exam conditions.

Higher - Extended Essay plan.

Remember, you MUST have your 200 word plan ready for the first day back. Here is a link which will provide you with a blank to see if you can squeeze your 200 words onto it.
