      What she always does is just tell us off that we did poorly, give us notes and questions to do.

       

      I follow her notes, but still it isn't good.

      perhaps you just try go to her once. maybe her attitude will change seeing that you are interested in learning. the most you just go to other ss teachers, im sure they will help

    • Hmm, my teacher gives notes on how to answer source based questions. There are skills on how to answer CERTAIN type of questions. At one sight you will have to spot what kind of question it is and answer using the skills.

    • source base have only about 5 types

       

      Inference "is the cartoonist a support of ..."

      Compare/contrast "How different are source A and B.'

      reliabilty "Does source D prove .."

      usefulness "How useful is source E in showing.."

      mixed question type."Source A and E are different in content, does it mean that  one of them is wrong?"

      You will need to master the skills from finding

      1. purpose PAMOV (problem, audience, messgae, intended outcome of speaker and verd)

      2. tone (bias, objective, one sided, negative etctec)

      3. Reliability enhanced (highest level!)

      you can ask your teacher about these skills and i am sure she will help you. i am taking my Os this year too and this format seems to work for me! in my recent SS midyears, i got 78 (: heh.

       

      if you wish to know more, just PM me (:

      What can you do if that particular subject only have one teacher in the whole school?
      I'm pretty screwed up with my POA yet I only have one teacher in school. T T.
