when you say one side overall do you mean you dont have to look at both agree/disagree with the source?


You don't have to but if you do as long as you ensure you clearly say what side you're with overall and why

It's easier and quicker to look at one side.. Normally from what I've seen the sources tend to disagree with my own knowledge but it doesn't matter which side you put as long as it is backed up clearly

Make sure you include the key words of the question :smile:

Yeah so you either agree or disagree


OK, so for a 6 mark question plan:

- (your opinion-agree/disagree)- own knowledge point(s)

- look at the source and talk about whether it agrees with your point

- evaluate the source based on provenance and purpose then conclude- (despite the source being unreliable I agree with it as....OWN KNOWLEDGE / I disagree with the source as it is unreliable ....OWN KNOWLEDGE )

I can't see it. Can you send it to me in a different format?

Sorry I don't know how to change the forma but here is the website I got them from

http://moodle.suttongrammar.sutton.sch.uk/course/view.php?id=145
Go on the website, under the Year 10 and 11 GCSE resources section there are past paper and other revision materials.

sorry messed up the reply earlier, do you think the plan (posted recently in this chat) would suffice or do you have your own plan for 6 markers?

Also does any one have any tips or plans for 10 mark questions?

Sorry which plan are you taking about?
I will be doing 3 points of own knowledge in one paragraph, then the second examining the provenance/purpose who/what/where/when/why :smile:

Yeah that's great. Aim for 3 points of own knowledge if you can. 2 would be alright but pushing it.
Explain the points though

1.

this:
- (your opinion-agree/disagree)- own knowledge point(s)

- look at the source and talk about whether it agrees with your point

- evaluate the source based on provenance and purpose then conclude- (despite the source being unreliable I agree with it as....OWN KNOWLEDGE / I disagree with the source as it is unreliable ....OWN KNOWLEDGE )

I'm doing Hitlers foreign Policy (1930-39) Origins of the cold war and Crisis of the Cold War (~1940-1980's). I HIGHLY recommend looking at specimen papers because (if I recall) they have changed the layout of the exam a bit(?) They're avalible free on the AQA website:smile:
Original post by kholland
Is there a specific requirement for knowing the dates of the events or will just knowing the chronology of the events do? Having looked at the mark schemes they don't actually credit dates specifically, but would they count towards development and detail?


I highly recomend knowing the order of events! Though dates don't appear on the mark scheme I think knowing at least the years (maybe months) of the KEY events really give the examiner the idea that you know what you're talking about:smile:

probably as a 4/6 mark as its new but probably not a 10 mark like in the specimen


I think a question like what was important/ a bigger factor in the downfall of the USSR/the USSR's control over eastern european countries:

-The reforms of Gorbachev
-The effects of the war in Afghanistan


^^ just a guess, im gonna do it as practice
