  1. QUESTION 1a: What can you learn from source A about……. (4 marks) • This is an inference question. • This Q similar to the first Q on the Divided Union paper, but you only need to explain ONE inference, not two. • You should not use your own knowledge for this question. Instead develop your inference by giving a short quote to back it up. Source A suggests that….. I know this because it says…..(QUOTE) 5 mins

  2. QUESTION 1b: Describe the key features of….. Describe the measures taken…. Describe the policies of….. Describe the weaknesses of…. (6 marks) One key feature of X was…. One measure taken was…. One policy was….. One weakness of X was….. For example….. • In the first sentence of each paragraph, identify the key feature/measure/policy/weakness. Then develop it with factual knowledge. • Eg. One key feature of the Reichstag Fire was that it was blamed on the communists. A Dutch Communist, van der Lubbe, was found in the burning building. He was put on trial, convicted and executed. Hitler said that the fire was part of a communist plot to overthrow the Weimar Republic and set up a communist dictatorship. A second key feature of X was…. A second measure taken was…. A second policy was….. A second weakness of X was….. For example…. 10 mins

  3. QUESTION 1c: Explain the effects of……. (8 marks) • Eg. Explain the effects of the Reichstag Fire. • Remember to focus on the effects or impact of the event which is stated in the question. Do not focus on what happened during the event itself. In other words, ‘Explain the effects of x’ means ‘what difference did x make’? • With all 8 markers, aim for 2 points if you can. • You can reach up to 6/8 marks (a B grade) with just one, well explained effect. However, to reach a B grade or above you will need to explain the longer term significance of the effect. For example, one effect of the Reichstag Fire was that it allowed Hitler to portray communists as traitors. He banned them from attending the Reichstag. The longer term significance of this effect is that the Enabling Act was passed (the communists couldn’t vote against it), which brought an end to democracy in Germany. One effect of x was…….. For example…….. (explain the effect using detailed knowledge). This led to..... (try to explain the longer term significance of the effect). To reach an A*, link your two effects A second effect of x was…….. For example…….. (explain the effect using detailed knowledge). This led to..... (try to explain the longer term significance of the effect). Another way of reaching an A* on this Q is to link your two effects at the end, by writing a short conclusion explaining the link. You only need a conclusion if you’re aiming for an A* 10 mins

  4. QUESTION 1d: Explain why……. (8 marks) • Eg. Explain why the German economy faced problems in the years 1919-23. • Remember to focus on the reasons for or causes of the outcome stated in the question. Do not focus on how it happened/what happened. • With all 8 markers, aim for 2 points if you can. • You can reach up to 6/8 marks (a B grade) with just one, well explained reason. However, to reach a B grade or above you will need to explain how the reason led to the outcome stated in the question. For example, one reason why the German economy faced problems in the years 1919-23 was because of the terms of the TOV. (Explain about resource-rich land taken from Germany.) This led to the German economy facing problems because it meant Germany had little money with which to pay reparations, which were set at £6.6 billion. One reason why x was…….. For example…….. (explain the reason using detailed knowledge). This caused x because..... (try to explain why your reason led to x happening). To reach an A*, link your two reasons • One reason why x was…….. • For example…….. (explain the reason using detailed knowledge). • This caused x because..... (try to explain why your reason led to x happening). Another way of reaching an A* on this Q is to write a short conclusion explaining the link between your 2 reasons OR which reason was the most important cause, and why. You only need a conclusion if you’re aiming for an A* 10 mins

  5. QUESTION 2 TYPE A: Explain how……. (8 marks) CHANGE/IMPACT • Eg. Explain how the position of Jews in Germany changed in the years 1933–39 • You can choose from 2 possible Qs. • Q2 can be phrased in two ways. One type is focusing on how something (x) changed. • For this type of question, make sure you focus on ways in which x changed. Eg. One way in which the position of Jews changed is that they were reduced to being aliens in their own country. For example…. (explain using knowledge of Nuremberg Laws). This changed the position of Jews because they were no longer seen as being German. • With all 8 markers, aim for 2 points if you can. • You can reach up to 6/8 marks (a B grade) with just one, well explained reason. However, to reach a B grade or above don’t focus simply on what happened (eg. Nuremberg Laws), but on how these events showed a change (eg. the impact of the Nuremberg Laws on the position of the Jews). One way in which x changed was… For example……. (use your knowledge to explain how events led to this change). This changed x because..... (sum up the impact of events on x). To reach an A*, link the ways in which x changed • A second way in which x changed was… • For example…… (use your knowledge to explain how events led to this change). • This changed x because..... (sum up the impact of events on x). Another way of reaching an A* on this Q is to write a short conclusion explaining the link between the 2 ways in which x changed. You only need a conclusion if you’re aiming for an A* 10 mins

  6. QUESTION 2 TYPE B: Explain how……. (8 marks) METHOD/IMPACT • Eg. Explain how the Nazi government dealt with the economic effects of the Great Depression in Germany in the years 1933-39. • You can choose from 2 possible Qs. • Q2 can be phrased in two ways. One type is focusing on how someone (x) dealt with an issue (y). • For this type of question, make sure you focus on methods or policies. Eg. One way in which the Nazi government dealt with the economic effects of the Depression by using the policy of rearmament to reduce unemployment. For example….(explain about conscription, weapons factories, heavy industry etc.) This dealt with the economic effects of the Depression because it reduced unemployment from 6 million in 1933 to less than half a million by 1939. • With all 8 markers, aim for 2 points if you can. • You can reach up to 6/8 marks (a B grade) with just one, well explained reason. However, to reach a B grade or above don’t focus simply on what was done (eg. rearmament), but on how these actions dealt with the issue (eg. the impact of rearmament on the economic effects of the Depression - unemployment). One way in which x dealt with y was… For example…….. (explain how the method or policy dealt with the issue). This dealt with y because..... (sum up the impact of the method on the issue (y)). To reach an A*, link your two methods A second way in which x dealt with y was… For example…….. (explain how the method or policy dealt with the issue). This dealt with y because..... (sum up the impact of the method on the issue (y)). Another way of reaching an A* on this Q is to write a short conclusion explaining the link between the 2 methods. You only need a conclusion if you’re aiming for an A* 10 mins

  7. QUESTION 3 The comparative question (16 marks) IMPORTANCE SUCCESS EFFECTIVENESS IMPACT

  8. 25 mins QUESTION 3 The comparative question (16 marks) In some ways, Stresemann was successful in dealing with hyperinflation. For example…..(what did he do?) Therefore, Stresemann was successful in dealing with hyperinflation because… (explain how his actions could be seen as a success). Start and finish each para with the wording of the Q • This Q asks you to compare factors – their relative importance or success or effectiveness or impact. • You can choose from 2 possible Qs. • You will be given 4 bullet points to write about. You should not write about all 4. How many you write about depends on what grade you’re aiming for (and how much time you’ve got left in the exam!)….. • For an A/A*, write about 3 plus a conclusion • For a B, write about 2 plus a conclusion • For a C, write about 2 (no conclusion) • You should always write about the first bullet point (the one mentioned in the Q). • When working out how many bullet points to write about, weigh up how much time you have left. As a general rule, aim for a B grade answer. Then, before you write the conclusion, check how much time you’ve got left. If you’ve got time for a 3rd bullet point AND a conclusion, go for the A/A* answer. If not, just stick to 2 bullets points and a conclusion (B grade). Repeat for up to 2 more of the bullet points (1 more for a C/B, 2 more for an A/A*)
