c. ACTIVE REVISION
Follow these suggested steps to 'actively' revise:
1. Open each planning frame and analyse the question by completing side one as far as you are able.
2. Complete any reading / review necessary to help you answer the question, not forgetting any relevant historiography.
3. Plan (and write at least a few to a 45 min time limit) your answer using page 2 reverse of the frames.
4. Check your plan against the 'suggested answers' document - there is a suggested plan for each question (taken from an IB resource). Review and reflect - remember: there are many ways to 'skin a cat' in a history essay; the plans are there to encourage reflection - they do not represent the only possible response to the question.
5. Now plan answers to as many of the questions in part D as you can - the mark scheme document will help you to see if you are are heading in the right direction.
