The January examination timetable caused a lot of disruption to our set. As a result, rather than forge ahead with the course, we decided to focus on our essay planning skills. In particular, we wanted to look at the new type of “transformed” question from last summer’s paper :- “Assess the view that the condition of the peasantry in Russia was transformed in the period 1855 to 1964”.
After studying the examiner guidance and the exam report (these will shortly be in your past questions booklet in the assessment section of the site), we came up with this synoptic plan. You will note that afterwards, we really tried to secure our understanding of the term by revisiting the idea of “transformed” in the broader context of “the working classes”.
