How do all you guys structure your 35 markers??


i copied and pasted this from another thread, it might help!
"The 35 mark question should be written like an essay with the sources and your historiography embedded within. Start with a 7-8 line introduction, stating whether you agree or disagree with the question. Questions on the economy, women, Jews etc should be split up into success/failure, whereas a question on the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship should be split up into legal/illegal means. You should address each source at least once, and you need at least 7 interpretations. Finish the essay by stating your opinion, and back it up with an interpretation or a strong quote from a source. Your conclusion should be about half a page long. The total essay should be about 4-5 a4 sides long."

if you get asked a question 35 marker on the economy you'll go into detail on whether it was a success or failer so you'd need statistical detail on the progress or shorts that each economic plan made. it would be good to be able to note down key detail about each plan eg the new plan brought about mass construction of social facilities and useful amenities such as the autobahn. and then be able to note talk about the guns and butter debate at length! that will get you lots of marks for interpretation! :smile: pm me if you want

Jews and the economy prob wont come up cause they already came up twice already since 2010. I think threats to weimar or youth will come up

High chances, any ideas on what a question on weimar economy would be like?

I honestly don't think they will ask us a question on Weimar unless it's about the decline of the Weimar Republic (which is basically reasons for the rise of the Nazis). I just don't think there is enough detail to write 35 marks on it.

For the usefulness part use DAMMIT:
Date
Author
Mode
Motive
Intended Audience
Tone

Then do a paragraph of your own knowledge quoting the source around 3 times if possible
And then a paragraph with 3/4 limitations
I always conclude by saying although the source is useful an historian would have to examine others to get a complete accurate account of (whatever the question is)
Do we need to know nazi policies towards handicapped and asocials??

No! Mainly just the jews.
Does anybody think culture and the arts could come up as a 35 mark? Since it isn't a huge topic I am hoping not but does anybody have a feeling it will?

It comes up so often as a 12 i doubt it. Trying to convince myself our essay will be on threats to weimar (greatest chance) Youth ( 2nd in my opinion) women ( 3rd) and finally consolidation

I don't think there's enough for youth to be on its own so if it did come up they would group it probably with women again. I'm hoping for Jews, Consolidation or the rise of the Nazis (which is unlikely). I wouldn't mind threats to the Weimar Republic as long as it's really broad so I could waffle about Versailles, the Constitution, uprisings and the economy.
