Here is the essay plan I handed out to you this week. Remember, this is an outline and I expect flesh on the bones and quotes. You will write this in class next week under exam condition. Don't forget to refer to and use Essay Skills helpsheets.
Here is the 'bare bones' essay you constructed and Sammy typed in class today. Remember to hand write this essay in your jotter and hand in on Thursday 20th September.
Here is the bare bones of the Irish Emigration essay the class constructed and Amanda typed up. This essay you have to do for homework (due in Wed 12 Sept.) Remember, this is just one version.

Here is the link to the copy of the handout on 'An Introduction to Historiography' we discussed last Friday.

This powerpoint and handout should help you write Higher level essays. They show you how to link paragraphs, how to bring in new points/arguments, how to contrast views, which phrases and words to avoid and essay writing conventions. (Thanks again go to Donald Morrison)
Some quotes which may improve your Democracy essay. Remember to use quotes wisely. They should emphasise a point, contradict a point or bring into the essay a new argument. Don't leave quotes 'unattached' to the essay - they must be integral to the essay.
This is the handout that should form the basis of your essay you are currently doing. The actual essay title you are tackling (from the 2003 Past Paper) is What was the most important reason for the growth of democracy in Britain between 1867 and 1928?
