What a brilliant turn out yesterday! It was brilliant to see you, and it was brilliant that you worked so hard across the 4 hours. And the pizza? That was brilliant too, so well done everyone. All of the revision resources, podcasts, videos, and games are available from the International Relations page, and the USA boom and bust page. The revision dominoes that we used will really help you push your knowledge beyond the C grade, so keep practising.
Remember that yesterday was a kick start to your half term revision. You now need to continue to revise for Monday. The plan that I put together for you, with timings and suggested activities, is online. Remember you can revise more, or in different ways, but make sure that your revision is intensive, short and active.
Remember that the New Deal can be a bit of a scary topic to learn. All of those alphabet agencies, and the different parts of the first and second New Deal can be a bit confusing. However, don’t panic too much because the exam questions tend to focus on three main areas:

– how successful was the New Deal? Make sure you can provide detailed examples for and against
