What flies when it’s born, lies when it’s alive, and runs when it’d dead?

Welcome back!

A2 expectations It is going to be hard… very hard BUT if you put in the work it will pay off! Alongside America and Tudors, you now have coursework to battle BUT if you keep to our deadlines you will survive! You will be expected to do 4.5 hours of History work a week in your own time BUT this will mean we finish the course on time and have time to revise! There is now a workshop attached to this block. I will always be there to help you with any problems you have – America, Tudor, Coursework! There is also a Facebook group – TRCHistory

Course Work Lesson 1

Full first draft 6th November 2017 The Plan! For the first half term, the first lesson of the week will be coursework. The second lesson will be Tudors, and the third America. From next week, we should be in computer rooms for the coursework lesson(s). Week 1: (Draft) analysis of an event Week 2-3: (Draft) one paragraph on an historian’s view Week 4-5: (Draft) Analyse the value of one primary source Week 6-7: (Draft) section on focus Week 8: (Draft) section on counter Full first draft 6th November 2017 Final draft 8th January 2018

Importance of Coursework It is 20% of your final mark With commitment and effort it should be the highest scoring aspect of your 3 units (coursework, Tudor exam, America exam) Working hard and to deadlines this term means that the final two terms will be fully focused on the exams. Learning these skills will mean you can successfully produce University Essays (researching, referencing, selecting material and sources, writing to a deadline, drafting and re-drafting work, proof reading)

The part where you show off how much work you did over the summer… Do you have your Coursework booklet with you? Do you have a timeline that covers 100 years? YOU SHOULD HAVE! Have you read the views of two historians on your topic? YOU SHOULD HAVE! What reading have you done? READING ON YOUR TOPIC IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD NOW BE DOING EVERY DAY! THIS CAN BE A MIXTURE OF BOOKS, JOURNAL ARTICLES AND WEBSITES. PRIORITISE READING THE ARGUMENTS OF YOUR TWO HISTORIANS AND ENSURING YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND CONTINUITY AND CHANGE OVER THE 100 YEARS.

Time to share (15 mins) Get into groups with people doing the same question as you. Share an interesting fact that you have found. Share what you think is a key event. Share the names of key historians for your topic, and their answer/view on your question Share what you current view is on your question. Share any problems you are finding (beyond procrastination)

Come up with questions about the coursework, these can be on: How/what you need to research What it is you need to write How the coursework is assessed Planning your time/ approach Accessing extra support

How is your coursework marked? There are 40 marks available for your coursework. There coursework splits those marks into 3 categories A01 – 20 marks A02 – 10 marks A03 – 10 marks A01 – see next slide! A02 – analysis of primary sources A03 – understanding of historians views and evaluation of them

A01 Most of what we are concentrating on today is A01: Understanding and focus Answering the question and fully covering 100 years Organisation and Communication Well structured and points clearly communicated Knowledge/detail Well selected, specific and precise material to support your points (however lots of description will not get you many marks!) Analysis and conceptual understanding Consistently analysing events/developments in light of the question and demonstrating understanding of cause/consequences, change and continuity and significance Balance Look at multiple possible views (you cannot strongly argue one side) Judgement Make judgements relating to the Q supported with evidence

Week 1 Drafting on an event Today we are going to concentrate on writing about a single event (at a time). Choose an important event in answering your question, this could be: A key event in the career of Martin Luther King e.g. Montgomery Bus Boycott, Birmingham protests, March on Washington or Selma March. A key Anti-Semitic/ non-Anti-Semitic event or law (e.g. Hep-Hep Riots, Boycott of Jewish Shops in 1933, Kristallnacht, Creation of the Death Camps or Nuremberg Laws or Weimar Constitution) A Supreme Court case that promoted (Brown) or damaged (Plessey) Civil Rights. An example of women impacting on the Civil Rights movement or being side- lined Remember thematic people

Week 1: Drafting on an event You need to look at what caused the event (or who was responsible) You need details of what happened. You need to evaluate whether this is an example of change or continuity and relate to your question. You need to explain the consequences of the event. Note any other events you think you could link/ contrast this one with Are there any good primary sources that you could use that relate to this event. (A02) What if anything do your two historians say about this event? (A03)

Done it? Here is some homework Do another same as before for another And another And keep repeating until you’ve got a good range of events covering your hundred years.

Next Week: Historians Make sure you have something on/by one of your historians for next week.
