Hello Y12
Recently, we have been looking at the social divide and influences to our behaviour. Obviously, these fit into a political framework as well. How can things like the social divide fit into politics? What news stories can you think of that link to it? Where do the different political parties stand on this issue? How have they changed in recent years or months?
Over the next couple of weeks we'll look at two contentious and topical political hot potatoes: education systems and the NHS.
Your homework has been to find out about Fundamentalism. The definition as well as research into two fundamentalist groups. There are some definitions here from a range of encyclopaedia on this site. I haven't read it all, but it looks good.
Here is a document I have made for you. It's an overview of everything you need to know for this section of the course. You should be able to link almost of all of these to the news; if you can't find some news stories! Get into the habit of looking at www.bbc.co.uk/news.
If you fancy extending your learning and making your brain buzz have a look at this. It's the programme I was telling you about in lesson the other day.
If I think of anything else, I'll post it.
See you on Monday,
Ms
Hi Ms Caldwell,
ReplyDeleteWhen do we change round to the next domain, and will we look at everything on that list? (I know Mr Moss said we didn't have time to study everything in the Scientific Domain, and I was wondering if that was the case in all General Studies areas)
Also, when we switch round, is it true that our lessons change time, so will be on Fridays etc?
See you on Monday!
Eleanor :)
Hi Eleanor
ReplyDeleteWe don't have time to cover all the points on the list, but it should be a guide to what you could also cover independently. If you know news stories about these topics, all the better. I've seen that you've got a copy of the text book and this should help you understand everything you need to know, but being able to link it to examples in the news improves your mark (as well as making life generally more interesting!).
As for a change in timings, I have no idea! I will try to find out Monday morning before the lesson.
See you Monday!
Ms :)
