=Year 10 Cover Lessons for Mr. Tarr, May 2008=

Tuesday 20th May
a. Copy your marked "House of Cards" homework from Public > RJT (my mark and comment is at the bottom). b. Open up the document. At the end of each sentence or two of the story, add a footnote which explains what events and countries are actually being referred to (e.g. "Brian agreed to give Geri the bodyguard" could become "Britain agreed to give Germany the Sudetenland at the Munich Conference in 1938"). To insert a footnote, place your cursor at the end of a footnote and click INSERT > FOOTNOTE.

b. Email your work to Mr. Tarr at the end of the lesson at russeltarr@hotmail.com. Failure to email this work as requested will be recorded in the markbook.

c. Homework: Produce a timeline of the main Causes of World War Two using the [|timeline feature] at www.classtools.net. Colour code the events to reflect which country is contributing to the war (e.g. Wall St. Crash - USA in one colour, Anschluss - Germany in another, Munich - Britain in another. Provide a key. The best examples will be showcased on the website. Remember to add your name.

This will help you with your exam revision because the exam will consist of two papers (a) Sourcework on the Origins of World War Two; (b) Structured Questions on the Origins of World War One.

Wednesday 21st May
Thanks to all of you who emailed me your completed "House of Cards" work yesterday - I aim to have these marked within the next day or two (I'll mark them as a big batch along with the homework you should have got completed for this lesson).

With regard to your tasks for today... a. Email me your completed homework timeline as an attachment at russeltarr@hotmail.com. Alternatively, email me the weblink to the file (when you click the "widget" option the timeline gets saved to my server and you are given a direct web address for it). b. Save this document - [|3_IGCSE_Questions.doc] - into your history folder. c. The cover teacher should give each student in the class a number between 1-11 (ask them to do so if they haven't seen this page!). d. Open up the worksheet. Your job is to produce an answer to the three-part (A, B, C) question corresponding to the number you have been given. e. Complete this task for homework.

Tuesday 27th May
I have marked your timelines and your annotated version of the "House of Cards" story. There was some really pleasing work there, I'll award merits and so on when I return if you remind me! In particular, Gaby and Nathan did really nice timelines which are now being shown off on the classtools site ([|click here]). Nuzzo, Shaw and East will be getting verbally and physically abused for their failure to hand in either piece of work.

Tasks for today: a. Email your completed homework to Mr. Tarr at russeltarr@hotmail.com. b. Complete this [|worksheet] by completing [|this interactive exercise] on the Causes of World War Two.

Wednesday 28th May
Use this lesson to do some History Revision using the various materials that can be found [|here] (for the Causes of World War One) and [|here] (for the Causes of World War Two). Try out some of the [|interactive cartoon exercises], the [|interactive structured questions practice], and so on!
