Classical Civilisation

Assessment

This is an essay subject, so homework will often consist of extended writing. However, there are only three types of question across the three papers: 10 mark: analysis of a source (a passage of text, a visual source such as a Greek vase, or a Greek idea) 20 marks: an extended answer using the source as a starting point and comparing it with other topic areas 30 marks: an essay covering a range of topics covered across the year Because of this uniform structure and approach, you will find that you quickly learn how to approach each type of question and can practise your technique across all three papers. We will offer plenty of support in essay writing, so please don't worry if this is something that you have found difficult in the past.
