6Ec04  - Mr Gray

Always start by deciding which essay and data question you are going to attempt - rough out your plans to see if you can:

Choose an essay in which you evaluate three points for part a and evaluate four points for part b - PLUS you are confident you can talk about specific countries to exemplify your analytical or evaluative point.

Choose the data questions - where you can evaluate three times for the larger mark responses. Also identify which questions you are meant to evaluate.

We chose essay Question 3 and having our plan to evaluate three points for part a - then timed ourselves to make sure we completed part a inside 20 minutes to avoid running out of time, try this at home;

7 separate paragraphs
2 minute introduction - define, data, diagram
3 minutes explain in depth and exemplify with precise UK examples your first point to ATQ (PEE)
3 minutes evaluate twice 1st point - ensuring you are still ATQ (Ev)
3 min PEE 2nd point
3 min Ev 2nd point
3 min PEE 3rd point
3 min Ev 3rd point

Now look at the quality of your answers compared to the model answers - try to

part b) - roughly do the same again but add a 4th point and Ev it

Data question - we chose Question 4

4e) Practice drawing tariff diagram - but then think through how can I use this to ATQ?
