Context
4 What were the similarities and differences between the Luddite movement and the Captain Swing movement of 1830?

L1 Bloc 2 Social and ethnic identities and conflicts
You will have noticed that one of the questions in your homework is:
If you had to choose two historical events for Scotland, and two historical events for Wales, which had very strongly marked their national identities, which events would you choose, and why ?
Il y a pas mal d'évènements que vous pourriez choisir (il n' y a pas seulment 4 bonnes réponses possibles). L'essentiel est comment vous expliquez leur importance.

Opinion is Scotland is changing. A few years ago not many Scottish people actually wanted independece, although most of them supported autonomy.
Today support for independence is running at its highest level for a long time. IT is still a minority, but a very substantial one - over 30% according to some opinion polls. Opinion polls are difficult to interpret, but this is interesting news.

L1 LLCE Civilisation GB From the Reformation to the Glorious Revolution
Tests.
Next week, I will give you your homework, and I will post it here. It will be based on the "brochure de documents" which is on Eprel.
On the 3rd January, you will have the final test. Anyone who is absent for any reason may take the retake in June. The retake is also available, of course, to students who do not get a pass mark in the first session.
One student is in régime dérogatoire. Their test will be at the same time as everybody else's, but it will not be the same test - it will cover the whole period studied.
