Today marks the day when all students studying History at school must sit down and write up a self prepared essay from memory. Doesn't sound too difficult right? Especially as you can choose the subject matter.
Here's where it gets tricky. You are allowed a 300 word plan, this can not be just a section of essay, it has to be structured. Ok not too bad so far.
You are not allowed any texts, sources or access to any other areas of information.
You are allowed to use word processing only.
doesn't seem unreasonable.
And as a gesture of good will the exam board allow you to have 10 pages of A4 notes, or 2500 words to help you. Hooray?!
Well its not that easy, it has to be paragraphs, and these can not be in anyway like you essay. Here's an example of what I mean.
LG: CiC + CoC of B101 ->LG.... Gibberish as you may agree. To me however this means something. LG= Leopoldo Galtieri Commander in Chief, and the Chain of Command of Battalion 101 leads back to him. Therefore meaning he was the one who told B101 to go and kill 10000+ people. Get it? No neither do I. But these are such things that you have to do to complete A-Levels.
Yay.
