Is anyone doing the Britain and Ireland module resit on Thursday 22nd May? I can't be the only one?

I'm doing it but it's not a resit, I'm in year 12. But i'm guessing we would be doing the same paper!

Introduction-bold statement grabbing the examiners attention,not too flashy though it's not journalism

e.g "religion was gone in Russia,but Stalin was their new god".

3 sets of developed paragraphs to prove your points for your thesis, any more than 3 points may seem that your going off on a tangent, but multiple sub points are good to break up big points.

mini conclusion at the end of each paragraph to bring it back to the question and keep on topic

conclusion should consider all your points and then rank them in order.

when teachers say "don't tell a story" they are talking about mere descriptions, that is a GCSE skill that illustrates you actually know what the heck went on, and don't think that Hitler was Henry VIII's big brother.

you only need to write about 2-3 pages, get your arguments ready and you should fly through the exam, you want to be spending 45 mins on each question.
