It was ok - I liked the questions, I just wish I could've written more - I did 2 and 3 and I wrote 2 paragraphs - a couple pages long with many physical features about my site and description of what activities, uses of the tower and why they changed. For 3, I wrote the same amount but I questioned some parts of my site that I thought would be interesting to know. I'm predicted an 8/9 for history but I think I'll get a 7-9 based on grade boundaries for this paper - I am normally much better on the other history papers than this paper because I like to get immersed, which I cannot really in the History Around Us paper. What were your sites? Mine was Tower of London - I know two schools that are doing it on their school, which I find quite sad, to be fair. Fingers crossed - I hope to take history for a-level, wbu?
