NHS

Hi Y12 Here's a link to an excellent guide to the changes to the NHS. Look at the links to Q&A on the right hand side of the text. Best wishes, Ms

Hello all.
You can decide how you want to do this. PowerPoint, leaflet, film(!?), but I need to have evidence that you understand different voting systems.
Here is the Ppt form the lesson.
At least half an hours solid work form you on Wednesday please. Make sure you are there...
Best wishes,
Ms Caldwell

The document for Presetations is here! Ensure that you find out details that are on this link.
All points should be covered.
They'll be presented in Wednesday's lesson.
Any problems leave a comment.

Hello Y12

Well done for looking to see which room you're in - genius! Go to Rm 16 for all your GS lessons now; Mrs Price will be your teacher for the remainder of the course where you'll study the Cultural Domain. Enjoy.

It's been fun,

Ms Caldwell

Just to let you know, we DO have a lesson on Monday. I think we should carry on in the Dinner Party style - so bring a bag of crisps!

Please ensure you have a current news story to discuss.

See you then!

Ms Caldwell

Hello General Students!

Right, I feel we have really got somewhere. If anything because it leads into a very good discussion of the Education System (interesting and part of the syllabus!)

On Monday we will have our dinner party! We will have questions on cards and also some (topic free) prompt questions. I also hope we'll have time for a dinner party game. If you would like to, do bring some food to share.

There is now a mock exam in lesson time in the final week of term; this means Monday's lesson will be our last so the dinner party seems like a fitting end.

This is the link to the clip I showed you. I think it raises a range of questions about education. What do you think? What's the solution?

See you Monday

Ms Caldwell

Here it is!

Fundamentalism

Hello Y12

Oh, poor General Studies blog; the most neglected of my little blog family!

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
