WC (SHEP) Timeline

For all Year 13 students...

You need to do some important research over the holiday where you will find out about the key social, economic and political aspects of different historical eras and then go on to produce a timeline on your blogs. This is because the Module 6 text(s) could be from any decade since the 1950s so you have to have some general knowledge and understanding about them in order to answer the question.

This is work you will need to have completed by the day we come back after Easter...Monday 21st April.

To help you - here are a list of good links to try out...

Please post up the research to your Med 6 blogs, making six diffferent posts, one for each decade - 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s.

In each post you need to cover the following...
  • Social issues (status and roles of different social groups, e.g. women, ethnic minorities, gay people, the family, etc.)
  • Political issues (key events: wars, elections, political movements and changes, like feminism, civil rights, etc.)
  • Economic issues (state of the local - UK - and global economy)
  • Media issues (key texts, major developments, important people, changes in technology and censorship, etc.)
Be selective when choosing information and avoid covering too much American content as usually one - and often both - of the texts are British in the exam. And don't just copy and paste up events etc. that you don't understand or couldn't explain - the whole point is to make you confident about referring to this info in the exam so do extra research when this is the case.
