For those of you who were not in on Wednesday you need to do the following for Mondays lesson:

1) Read the following virtual books, make notes to help you answer the question “How neutral were the Neutrality Acts?”  (maximum 1 side of A4)

Book One

Book Two

Book Three

2) Write your own conclusion for the books – 1 paragraph.

3) Research the events of the 1930s in Europe, make some notes on which events might affect the USA.

4) Make a list of the groups within the USA (WASPS, Farmers etc) and give reasons why the would be either for or against US entry into WW2.

You need to bring this to Mondays lesson along with the exam style questions I asked you to do over half term.

Paper 2 Practice Questions

Mr Tomlinson’s group – coursework questions

Hope you’re having a nice holiday.

You have a lot of info in your folder that is needed to answer question 3. (You could also do some research of your own if you really wanted to!) The question requires you to make YOUR mind up as to what you think was the most important reason.

There were quite a few reasons for the introduction of the poor law in 1834. Cost was only one of them. Conditions of the workhouses was another, the swing riots another, the inefficiency of The Speenhamland system another – (all of this was explained in the last lesson, I also printed the powerpoint out with the information on as people wanted me to do)

What do YOU think? Do you think it was the fact that cost of paying for the poor was rising? Or was it that people were becoming lazy because of the way the old system was set up and this was inefficient? Or do you think it was because of the swing riots which proved that the old system wasn’t working properly? Also the workhouses that people were able to turn to were too ‘comfortable’, maybe this was an important factor. Try to write a paragraph on each if you can linking each point into the question.  Use the little paragraph structure I gave you all in the last lesson.

Don’t worry too much, but definitely have a go at the question. I deliberately haven’t spent as much time with you all on this question as I wanted to see you using your skills to try to answer it. It obviously won’t be graded immediately, and this is a draft for now. We’ll spend some time on it next week.

You can submit it on the blog or write or type it.

See Mr Lynch’s post below for some further information.

Hope this helps.
