Why did peace collapse?
May 3rd
Year 11, the final aspect of International Relations for you to revise is the collapse of peace in 1939. The handout from the lesson will really help you answer the practice exam questions. However if you are looking to deepen your understanding it would be worth listening to this podcast about appeasement and this one about Hitler’s foreign policy. There are also some useful BBC bitesize videos on this topic, I have put links to them at the bottom of the international relations page.
REVISION TIMES
History revision: Thursday lunch and after-school
RE revision: Monday lunch and after-school
REMEMBER
I am also available to provide tutoring at lunchtime or afterschool during the rest of the week. This is particularly useful if a small group of you have missed revision and want to catch up, or feel unsure about something that we have already looked at in lessons.
COMING SOON:
The second holiday ‘boot camp’ will be taking place from Monday to Thursday of half term.
Was Hitler the most important cause of the Second World War?
Mar 5th
Year 9 are currently writing essays about the causes of the Second World War.
A copy of the instruction sheet can be downloaded if you have misplaced yours. Remember that a good way to structure your essay is to use the PEE burger paragraph. However, if you are feeling confident, it is good to try to vary the structure of your paragraphs. Similarly, you may wish to write paragraphs on other causes of the Second World War.
If you are looking for extra ideas, a good place to start are these two ‘toy’ videos from BBC Bitesize:
‘Who was to blame’ Bitesize Video
‘Chamberlain and appeasement’ Bitesize Video
You could also listen to this podcast about Hitler’s actions and aims.

A more serious and detailed written explanation can be found on this revision website.
