What to do today.

Apologies for not being with you today. My wife has had to go into hospital today and I am accompanying her. I'd like you to continue working on the homework you have not yet completed. You can see what it is that you've done on this spreadsheet:

Some of you have emailed to say that you've completed certain elements. Understandably, I haven't been able to update the spreadsheet to reflect this yet.

What to do when you're finished.

Next week we're moving onto the rise of Hitler and the British policy of Appeasement that led to the Second World War in 1939. In preparation for this, I'd like you to create an annotated blog post of a diverse range of links relating to the topic. In practice, that means:
  1. Do a quick search using the keywords Neville Chamberlain, Appeasement, Munich Agreement, Rise of Hitler, and Causes of WWII.
  2. 'Annotated' means explaining what the links contain, so add the links and then a description saying what the link takes you to.
  3. 'Diverse' means a range of different things relating to the topic. For example, you might want to find GCSE History podcasts, encyclopedia articles, cartoons, etc.  
  4. You should definitely include this link to the relevant portion of the online version of your OCR textbook. You know you can trust that!
  5. Add an image to your blog post to make it more interesting!
Always check the provenance (where it's from) to make sure that what you've got is a trustworthy source of information. There's a lot of crazy stuff out there on Hitler! :-o
