Hi,
This is your compulsory homework for the holidays:
Use the course overview / revision document (the one with the star on
the front, and you can also find it on the Google Drive)
to re-create your notes along the major themes of the IB.
Create timelines, lists, detailed overviews.
Some dot points we may not have "done" in as much detail, but
do the best you can with the notes you have, or find additional information
online or in the textbooks that may or may not be on Google Drive. Be autonomous
in your ability to find information.
Here are the Paper 2 themes (Topic 1 and Topic 3)

This is YOUR revision so you need to lay it out in a manner that works
for you. I do very strongly recommend that you do it on the computer.
Use any means possible to make this a great document (Other textbooks,
all the resources on Google Drive, use my old Moodle (see Google Drive for
instructions), Scribd, Rudbeck, general research etc)
This is not an optional task, you need to all show me your
work at start of the term. If it is not done, I will keep on hounding you until
I'm happy with what I see, or I might even book in a lovely academic detention
for you.
Attached are three easy readings on the Rise of Hitler, which is what we
will start with next term.
The Year 12s are currently doing the same, but they are doing it for the
whole 2 years, as well as all their other subjects. That is why it is vital that
you do this now so that you will benefit from it next year. If you see/speak to
other classmates during the holidays, could you please alert them to this
email? I don't want anyone to use the "I didn't read the email" line.
Good luck and contact me if you have any questions,
Ms. V
