SBQ: 2 questions, 5 marks each. i need two inferences for each questions (meaning 2 paragraphs). rmb: use PEEL! one point/inference per para.SEQ: 3 factors. i want THREE factors meaning 3 paragraphs. you should have at least a short two-three liner intro.Thinking Question: now i know this is difficult. but you guys already have an advantage over other non-miss ho classes because they dont even discuss it in class, i did. so treasure what ive told you in class and study them. make sure you have clear examples and explanations. rather then being descriptive, explain to me why.ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!

on what you should study:

EVERYTHING!!

but you may want to focus on the different motivations for empire building mainly-economic and territorial.; and also what they did to achieve their motivations/aims. however, this does not mean that you can totally leave out magellan and columbus. also, think of some adjectives to describe their expansion. easy? difficult? big dreams/ ambitious...? and also refer to how their expansion was like onthe people and their reaction to the efforts of expansion. just in case you're confused, hitler is the leader of nazi and germany in that period of time.in-roads: basically means efforts to increase control/ development in the country, also meaning expansion.

and if you havent noticed after such a LONG while, for 'why were empires formed', shouldn't you just look at the different motivations for the expansion of empire? isn't it quite similar?use you head please!make sure you really read through, remember and understand the characteristics of an empire. it will help you.read through ALL the work-including class worksheets, assignments, writing practices (for SBQ, SEQ, thinking questions) you have for history. you will find them very very useful. this means that your humanities journals are your favourite friends, okays.

alright, i shall stop here. jiayou for your history. i apologise if i didnt reply your emails/ mark your work. i was quite busy. yupp. take good care of yourselves. byee! (: lots of love,miss ho :D
