Hi all I do Power and the People as well as Norman England, and based on previous years, I think that the power and people 16 marker will be on people's rights. I highly doubt it would be protests as that has systematically come up every other year (last year was protests), and this year it seems (if it follows the trend) to land on rights. I would advise going over the suffragettes movement as well as factory reform and people like Simon De Montfort who helped better the rights of barons within parliament etc. The Norman England 16 marker on Durham Cathedral looks to be a nice question, just make sure you revise it!! Best of luck.

omg i know there is a LOT of content but here are my question predictions apart from question one and these may or may not be completely incorrect!! okay so Q2 maybe the significance of magna carta or significance of norman conquest?? for Q3 idk but i think maybe explain 2 ways in which the indian rebellion and american war of independence were similar! and finally Q4 i really think it will be about whether war was the main factor for the shrinking of the british empire! hope this helps and good luck!!!!

The interpretation question was about the Poor Laws, second was about the Spanish Armada, third was about the threats to religious settlement and the Hardwick Hall question was about why Elizabethan houses were built up impress

Health and the people was amazing, source about penicillin, question about Pasteur's importance, comparison about medieval and 18th century medicine and the 16 marker was governments role in developing public health.
