Top Tips 8 mark questions: • It usually has two bullet points: make sure you answer both of them. • You will usually be asked to “consider a range of views”, so make sure you give different opinions. • Give facts to prove your points: name people/organisations/laws/statistics. • You need to include a sentence at the end giving your own viewpoint. 4 mark questions: • Don’t repeat what is said in the source, you are being asked to show what you have learnt. Active Citizenship: • You must learn your research, including names of sources/websites/articles and statistics (especially of your primary research and you evaluation surveys at the end). Multiple choice: • Have a guess if you don’t know, but don’t waste time thinking.

Task: • Have a look at the paper. You will have answered some of these questions before. • Try and answer what you can, and highlight anything you don’t know. I will come round and help, but you may need to go home and double check anything else we don’t get to.
