the source was written before the discovery that cholera travelled in water therefore i think it represented peoples thoughts at the time on what caused it

For the medicine paper, what were you supposed to write about the source question? No one I've asked knows how that picture links to the cholera epidemic.

what did everyone write for the power and the people 16 marker?

i wrote that the role of the individual was essential for setting up parliament, but it was the masses of people who were campaigning for their economic and political rights who had the biggest impact on the development of democracy in this country

i wrote about crowded and cramped living conditions with poor sanitation and no waste removal. lots of people in close proximity means disease spreads easily and water becomes contaminated by human waste

did
1. key individuals - Charles 1, Simon de Montford (talked ab the Provisions and his Parliament) etc.
2. war - peasants revolt (talked ab how it encourage parliamentary reform for working-class further on), American revolution
3. key ideas - mainly talked ab trade unionism and how it encouraged reform + how ideas allowed change.

just linked everything w how it led to change in the structure/laws of parliament and ended w concluding that key ideas were the most important + contrasting it w the others in terms of importance

What were the questions on Britain Health and the People

1. a source about cholera outbreaks
2. what was significant about medieval treatments
3. similarities between jenner and koch
4. chance was the main factor in the development of medicine. how far do you agree?

thats fine as it was him that discovered but it would be hard to link it how useful the source is as he isn't involved in the image

hii im also doing elizabeth

for sheffield manor lodge u could make a table/mindmap on the factors such as wealth, location, religion, comfort for mary qos etc. and just memorise a lot of key info such as mary qos spent 19 years in sheffield manor lodge and she was guarded by 8 armed men 24 hours a day etc
my teacher also said that practically every topic has come up in the past papers of elizabeth and they may reuse past paper questions but its hard to predict what will come up especially for history

my other topic is migration empires and the people
