10H (Mr Tomlinson’s group) Easter Homework

historydepartment — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:13:04 +0000

10 H (Mr Tomlinson’s class)

History homework over the Easter holiday.

Make sure that ALL of coursework 1 is completed and printed out neatly ready to hand in (please check spelling and grammar). This should already have been finished – you should just be amending the final drafts. Anyone who does not have this ready to hand in should expect 45 minute subject detentions until this work is completed. I am confident this will not be the case though.

Complete coursework 2, questions 1, 2 and 4 (NOT QUESTION 3)

We will look at question 3, 5 and 6) when you come back after the holiday.

There will be information on the blog and I would encourage you to use the blog if you can.

http://arrowhistory.wordpress.com/

I will monitor the blog throughout the holiday and will offer help if you need it.

Please take the time to think about the work though, we have had lessons on what needs to be included in these questions AND how to structure each question.

You are ALL more than capable of getting great marks in this coursework!

Have a great holiday – my advice would be to get this work out of the way as soon as possible so you do not need to worry about it throughout the holiday!

Your USA essay question is as follows:

“The Second World War had a positive impact on the USA” How far do you agree with this statement?

I have changed it slightly, only to make it make a bit more sense than the one we chose on Monday. The basic point and structure we talked about remains the same.
