Read the instructions at the bottom of the question. Highlight in one colour evidence which supports option 1. Highlight in another colour evidence which supports option2. Choose an option to support (remember it doesn’t matter which one, there is enough evidence to support either one)  Your first heading should state – RECOMMENDATION  Under this you need to write out what recommendation you have chosen.  For example: I recommend option 1 – install more CCTV cameras. Next you need to use the viewpoints in the sources to help you develop arguments in your own words to support option 1. Insert second heading  Your second heading should state – REASONS FOR SUPPORTING OPTION 1  For example: People who have nothing to hide don’t need to worry about CCTV. (As you can see I have adapted this from the first line of John Morton’s viewpoint in Source 3.) Next you need to identify a piece of evidence from Source 1 or 2 to back this up.  For example: (Following on from your argument in,) Source 1 shows, “The majority of the public believe that the installation of more CCTV cameras is a positive thing.” Next you need to identify a second piece of evidence either from a different part of the source or from another source to further back your argument.  For example: (Following on from you first piece of evidence,) This is backed up by evidence from Source 2 which shows, 73% of the public surveyed feel that the installation of CCTV cameras will prevent crime. (These 3 sentences make up your first paragraph under your first heading.) You need to repeat the above process another 2 times. (This will mean that you will have 3 paragraphs under that second heading.) Then you need to insert your third heading – REASONS FOR REJECTING OPTION 2 Then you need to insert the arguments your opponents would say, in your own words, (people who would support option 2) and explain why they are wrong.  For example: My opponents would say installing CCTV cameras would not make a difference. (You can see I have adapted this from the first link of Pauline Clark’s view point in source 3.) Next you need to explain what evidence there is to support this point of view.  For example: Source 1 shows,” A case study in the Greater Glasgow area could find no link between the installation of CCTV cameras and a reduction in crime.” Following on from this evidence you then need to explain how they are wrong because of evidence you have identified.  For example: They are wrong because, Source 2 shows, there was a 20% reduction in crime in the city in the year after the installation of CCTV. YOU MUST REMEMBER TO INSERT THE PHRASES MY OPPONENTS WOULD SAY AND THEY ARE WRONG BECAUSE IN THE APPROPRIATE PLACES, OTHERWISE YOU WILL JUST CONTRADICT YOURSELF.

PROCESS TO HELP ANSWER SELECTIVE QUESTIONS

1. Read the instructions carefully. Then read the point of view at the bottom of the source. 2. Read through the sources and use one colour to highlight what evidence supports this statement and use another colour to highlight what evidence does not support this point of view. 3. Your first heading is – EVIDENCE WHICH SUPPORTS THE POINT OF VIEW 4. Then you need to identify evidence that supports his point of view. 5. Your second heading is – EVIDENCE WHICH DOES NOT SUPPORT THE POINT OF VIEW. 6. You need to identify evidence that doesn’t support his point of view. 7. Your third heading is - CONCLUSION 8. For the final two marks you need to give an overall conclusion. Here you need to explain in your own words how you know the person is or is not being selective. If you do not do this, this maximum you can gain is 6 marks. See the example below: EVIDENCE WHICH SUPPORTS THE POINT OF VIEW: Ronnie Betson is incorrect in his point of view that, “President Obama’s popularity has changed significantly among supporters of both main parties since early 2009.” Source 1 shows that Obama’s support has fallen amongst Republican supporters from 40% to 10%, but that it has remained the same among Democratic supporters. EVIDENCE WHICH DOES NOT SUPPORT THE POINT OF VIEW: Ronnie Betson is incorrect. According to Source 2, 56.8% of Democrat voters in Massachusetts will still vote for Obama in 2012.

YOU NEED TO INCLUDE ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE FROM SOURCE 3. CONCLUSION: There is evidence from each of the three sources that Ronnie Betson is incorrect in his point of view, this shows that he is being very selective. You will need to make a judgement at the end how selective the point of view is. You will need to weigh up how much evidence supports the point of view and how much doesn’t and decide if they are very, slightly or not selective.

25 | P a g e

4. EXAGGERATION/SELECTIVE Study Sources 1, 2 and 3 below, then answer the question which follows.

PROCESS TO HELP ANSWER CONCLUSION QUESTIONS Read the instructions, you will have to make THREE conclusions to get 8 marks. 1. Read the first heading you are given, and identify which source or sources will help you with this conclusion. Put the number/s of the source/s that will help you with the statement beside the heading on the paper. This way you can check if you will use all the sources for full marks 2. To draw a conclusion you have to identify a pattern – has something increased, or decreased, is something affected by something else, has something changed over time? 3. To write your answer always write the concluding statement first, don’t include any figures here! All you are doing is identifying the pattern. Use the language from the heading to write your concluding statement. 4. In your second sentence you provide the evidence from the source/s to prove that your statement is correct. You must provide figures or quotations here. 5. In your third sentence you must provide evidence from another source or a different part of that source to back up your original evidence that your statement is correct. You must provide figures or quotations here. 6. You need to repeat this three times, for your full 8 marks. See the example below: THE WORK DONE BY COMMITTEES: Committees play an important role in the work of parliament. (Your concluding statement.) Source 1 shows, “Much of the important work of the Scottish Parliament goes on in the many committees set up by the Parliament. (First piece of evidence.) This is backed up by Source 3 which shows, “the public petitions committee played an important part in the successful law banning smoking in public places. (Second piece of evidence.) This would get you three out of 8, you need to repeat this process two more times, for full marks. Don’t forget you must use all the sources.

Revision Strategies: REVISION TIPS

5% listening to information 10% reading notes or books

20% listening and watching DVD / video

30% seeing examples of answers

40% talk about what you are learning

50% Do not be passive. Put words into pictures and pictures into words

75% teach one another

90% use what you have learned to answer past exam questions, or produce something new based on what you have learned

This pyramid diagram shows on average what a person will remember 24 hours after a ‘learning experience’, if they do nothing to reinforce it. For example, if you sit and read over information, 24 hours later you will have forgotten 90% of the information! That is not the best way to use your time. On the other hand, if you try to explain clearly what you have recently revised to a friend, you can expect to remember 75% of this information, 24 hours later. The same would happen if you recorded your thoughts or information onto disc, tape or video. It is therefore important to think about HOW you intend to learn, before you start revising. Here are some suggestions for effective revision strategies, to help you make the best use of your revision time: REVISION STRATEGY 1: Decide on a focused topic or question BEFORE you do ANY revision on this topic, write a list of all that you already know about the subject. It shows you all the information that is in your long-term memory so you now know what you DO NOT have to revise - which helps you focus on what you DO need to revise. Now do the revision. When you have finished this session of revision, write a new list of the new information you have learned. Now colour-shade each list a different colour. This will make each list easier to see in your mind’s eye. A day after the revision, try to remember as much as you can from the new list. This is what you need to reinforce, so remember the colour of the new list and think what you wrote in it. 43 | P a g e

Check back at the list, to see how well you remembered. Try to remember it all sometime later - each time you do that you reinforce your new learning. REVISION STRATEGY 2: When you have done no more than 5 minutes of revision STOP! Write a heading in your own words which sums up the topic you have been revising. Write a summary in no more than 2 sentences of what you have revised. If you can’t do it or do not want to do it, why not? Don’t ever say to yourself, ‘I know it but I can’t put it into words’. That just means you don’t know it well enough. So if you cannot write a summary, revise that section again, knowing you will have to write a summary at the end of it. Your brain now knows exactly what it has to do and you will revise far more effectively. REVISION STRATEGY 3: Work with a partner. Choose a topic to revise Design a word search about 10 squares by 10 squares. Your puzzle must only contain facts linked to the topic you are revising. Each word / phrase must have a definition or clue to help your partner find the word / phrase. Write these definitions beside or below the word search. Now get your partner to complete your word search, while you complete his / hers. Why do this? By making your word search you are finding out detailed information. Writing a definition means you must know exactly what the information means. Doing your partner’s word search means you must know more information. All the time your brain is active, not passive hoping to ‘memorise’. REVISION STRATEGY 4: After a revision session on a topic, summarise the important information in bullet points on ‘post its’. Stick these post-its up all over your bedroom, or the rest of your house, if allowed. When revising the next topic, do the same thing on DIFFERENT-coloured post its. Every time you pass the post its your brain is reinforcing the information you have already revised. A few days later, try a past paper question. You will be surprised just how much you remember from passing the post its each day.

44 | P a g e

REVISION STRATEGY 5: Read through your notes, then turn them into a mind map Remember the main rules of mind-mapping (remember to use colour!):
