If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

John D Clare

This man has got it (almost - no Events in the Gulf) all!

Go to http://johndclare.net/RevisionMaterials.htm

there are

‘cheat sheets’
basic notes
quick self tests
A* extras etc

(but make your own revision diary - our topics don’t match his)

2. Or go to http://johndclare.net/

This is more detailed info with each topic (called slightly different things, e.g. collapse of peace = road to war)

You need this bit

This is a link to the Word copies of his booklets - remember you don’t need all of these - and some I have already given to you.

2. Scott Allsop

This man is the only one with ‘1.7 Events in the Gulf’

Learn the Billy Joel song and be able to explain it - there is even help to write your own to make it all about what you need to learn (see the syllable grid )

http://www.mrallsophistory.com/revision/we-didnt-start-the-fire.html

2. More importantly (maybe), learn the ‘Events in the Gulf’ stuff.

You can listen to the podcast or download the transcript to read.

Make sure you make notes and learn them.

3. Mr Hinds

The details man

Go to his homepage http://www.mrhindshistory.com/1-peace-treaties.html this has the index of all our topics (apart from the gulf) (again collapse of peace = road to war). Use his notes pages - they tend to be good overviews broken down.
Use his videos for details - if you’re stuck - find a video on it. But I think he has all his lessons on here and at this stage you don’t need all the background to learn. So be selective and this is an excellent resource.

He has zondle quizzes for his topics - use these! Make sure you are making notes and learning them by testing yourself!

4. Bitesize

‘Revise - then - Test’ - perfect! (the videos here don’t seem to work!)

Big list dip in and out

13-16 - we don’t need these/ don’t study them
17 and 21 - the Wall Street Crash - worth a watch - they affect EVERYTHING!
Exam skills
- 22 - yes
- You use these skills but we don’t study the USA
- You use these skills but not always for this particular topic
