Is there anyone who is doing Russian history as part of their coursework and has a few essay questions?
Because apparently we cannot use the example question given by the exam board :?

USA & SA are a bit of an odd choice, normally schools do Germany, UK, or any other well known historical events? not saying that the SA apartheid or USA struggle for independence isnt significant...

If you dont mind me asking , what questions did you do for the russian coursework ?

Don't worry about it! (and horrible grammar? What horrible grammar? :biggrin: )

Ooh so you have quite a few modern papers then? (I'm assuming that Germany and Spain are modern but they could be medieval for all I know :wink: ). I'm doing Stuart Britain + the Glorious Revolution for the interpretations paper (so sort of the beginning of parliamentary Britain 😉), the Russian Revolution for paper 2, then early modern witchcrazes in Europe and North America for paper 3 (the depth + breadth one). Plus Nazi Germany for coursework 😁

I got given a source comprehension help sheet today (legit the first lesson we've had on sources 🙄) it's based on the witchcrazes but I can post it if it might be of any help to you? 😂

Yup, all of them are actually modern or at least relatively modern. The earliest one (Britain) starts at around 1780 while the latest ones are around 1989 (Germany) although some evidence comes from years as recent as 2001.

No way, haha, at least I finally know someone who somewhat does Britain 😂. Those are actually really interesting topics especially the witch craze one. Have you guys started on Salem yet or are you guys still in Europe?

We do our interpretation of sources about the Nazi foreign policy and its relation to the outbreak of WW2. Are you guys doing something similar for the coursework?

Help sheet? That's great, I just need some general advice anyway especially with my mock on monday. I'm kinda getting confused between all the source questions 😅. Thanks




P.S.

Does anyone have witchcraft notes for the new specification that I could combine with my own? It would of great help!!
