What a brilliant turn out yesterday! It was brilliant to see you, and it was brilliant that you worked so hard across the 4 hours. And the pizza? That was brilliant too, so well done everyone. All of the revision resources, podcasts, videos, and games are available from the International Relations page, and the USA boom and bust page. The revision dominoes that we used will really help you push your knowledge beyond the C grade, so keep practising.

Remember that yesterday was a kick start to your half term revision. You now need to continue to revise for Monday. The plan that I put together for you, with timings and suggested activities, is online. Remember you can revise more, or in different ways, but make sure that your revision is intensive, short and active.

Remember that the New Deal can be a bit of a scary topic to learn. All of those alphabet agencies, and the different parts of the first and second New Deal can be a bit confusing. However, don’t panic too much because the exam questions tend to focus on three main areas:

- what was the New Deal? In particular the 100 days, and a detailed example of an Alphabet Agency

- why was there opposition? Make sure you can explain two different types

- how successful was the New Deal? Make sure you can provide detailed examples for and against

Year 11, here is the revision powerpoint notes from the lesson. You can also get them as a pdf. The BBC bitesize video clip is here:

Finally, can you remember all the key words on this picture puzzle and what they have to do with the Wall Street Crash?

In today’s lesson we are going to be revising some of the key information from the powerpoint set of notes. If you haven’t got them with you, then you can open an electronic copy.

You should then try to find the following key facts on the notes.
We will then look together at some example exam style source questions. Your answers to these should be returned to me by Monday.
And finally, here is a word shoot out game based on the key facts from today’s lesson.

- Answer the question set
- Attempt every question
- Use details from the sources and own knowledge

If you want to look at it again, here is the exam paper [on the OCR website] and here are the example answers from the boys.
