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.

A podcast to help produce the perfect 'How Useful' answer.

Click on the link to open up the podcast. Mr Davidson's class should have a copy of this answer in their jotters but I thought it would be useful to have it as a podcast as well. See if you can identify the different parts of a 'how useful' question: the opening sentence, the origin, the purpose, the content and recall.  See me with any problems with the podcast.
