HISTORY PAPER 1 what to revise Crime,
punishment and protest

CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (1 hour)
Spend 5-10 minutes reading all the questions and
thinking. Where there is a choice, decide which
question you are going to answer. The last
question carries the most marks maybe you should
do it first. For each question, spend about 5
minutes planning. Then write for about the same
number of minutes as the marks. (e.g. if a
question carries 5 marks, write for about 5
minutes.)

You will get a few sources. The first question
will ask you what the sources tell you. Then
there will be some questions to test your
knowledge about Crime and Punishment.Spend just
over half an hour on these questions. Always plan
your answers..
