Can you take the textbook out and back in?

wr allowed to take pretty much anything in, but no textbooks or folders out.

I'm doing British Imperialism next week and am so not ready for it!!!
I understand the extract well enough but I really don't know how I'm going to get 30 marks out of each question. I have to admit though I'm pretty happy with the topic in question B, could have been a lot worse.

Hello Everyone,
I've got my History A2 Exam next week. Has anyone got any ideas to what the question might be on part a and part b? I'm studying the witch-hunts in Early Modern Europe.

I've heard a rumour that it's likely to be concentrated around the from above and from below approaches but I'd appreciate any hints or tips.

Thanks,

Matt. :-)

if you read the thread, they were already posted on like pg 2

it totally isn't from above/below.

This may sound really thick, but I don't know how to explain approaches? Like what do they actually mean by approaches, is it like functionalist or intentionalist etc?

Approaches is the general view that the historian takes, for example in the interpretation is that hitler planned it, then it's intentionalist. So it's how the historian came to their interpretation. Have you done the exam yet?

I have the paper, why have your school not given it to you yet lol

What did you write about for question B, the topic seems so broad!?

[JasmineN19]

Does anyone know what the questions are on?

Three distinct types of approaches:
1) Intentionalist
2) Functionalist/Structuralist
3) Synthesist

Methods are the sources used...

Interpretation is what the historians arguing

Hey, are you allowed to see the paper before the exam? I was told we were not allowed to? Also is anyone doing the crusades this year at all?
