DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO STRUCTURE A QUESTION :

why do these two sources give you different views of how far the liberals helped the poor?

Thankyou

So for a 6 mark question, if it asked you why a photo was taken, would you make a point saying 'it was takrn to show' .... Then describe the photo, giving detail, supported with background knowledge, then the affect of the detail and say possibly why someone would want it to have this affect?

Did you get do the depth study of germany which had the picture of a wolf and it asked why it was published in 1919?

Nope, one on America in the 1920s of a poor rural black family in Virginia. It asked why it was taken?

When it asks you why a source was taken and published at that specific time you have to relate it to what is happening. For instance, mine was about communists in 1919 so I said it was published then to highlight the issue to the german people that if the Communists succeed in gaining power then there will be fierce consequences for the entire world. Get what I mean?

We did the civil right movement too :biggrin:

i got 49/50. I loved learning about all that kind of stuff and I will do it again in college apparently so I'll already have a good understanding.

When did you do this? Because we did our Civil Rights Movement coursework months ago and still haven't got our results:/ Did you get your results through school?

We did the civil rights movement in America from 1945-1970, was quite straightforward tbh, was interesting because we studied a lot about Martin Luther King and got to listen to his speeches :smile:

What question did you answer for the coursework? How was it phrased?

Can I just ask, if you did the German Depth Study for History B, how did you find the Bolshevism source?

Also, what grade would I need across both papers to get an A if I got full marks on the coursework?
ALSO! I need some help on how to answer 6 markers, 10 markers and the photograph and little extract questions? thanks
