M1 épreuve finale : Death by paraphrase.
The main difficulty students had was wasting time paraphrasing. Again, remember one of the main aims is to *show* you have a good working knowledge of British history, in particular recent British history. This document gave you the opportunity to show your knowledge of the following subjects :
• The Freedom of Information Act (one of a series of important constitutional reforms carried out by Tony Blair’s governments).
• The economic and social crisis of the 1970s (the rise in unemployment, destruction of industry, the fall of the Heath government after serious conflicts with trade unions).
• The present economic crisis of 2011 and its handling by the new coalition government.
• The history of the domination of Scotland by England
• The history of Irish terrorist organizations and Welsh terrorist organizations
• The central role in foreign policy of the alliance with the United States
• The history of Scottish nationalism, in the 1970s, and today.
• The prospects for the new Scottish government elected in May 2011.
In each case, two to four *precise* and *informed* sentences explaining the reference in the text or linking to events mentioned in the text would be the ideal.
I have listed eight topics above. Quite naturally, if you only spoke about five of them that would be quite acceptable. Several students only mentioned one or two. Ifthis is because you knew nothing about the others, then reading newspapers and general histories of Britain is going to be essential this Summer. If you knew about them but didn’t fit them in, this will be because of dangerous paraphrasing.

L2S4 Thème marks
L2S4 Thème
Here are the marks for your final test.
To calculate your general mark for the semester for this module, you will have to look up the weightings in the admin booklet (don’t email me about this).
If the mark is not up to scratch then of course there are the resits in June (don't ask me the dates, they will be on the university website and I am too busy to answer that kind of question). To be sure to succeed in these, you need to look over all the translations we have done this year to make sure you understand the reasons for the grammatical structures we chose. And you need to read two or three grammar books from cover to cover. Don’t just cross your fingers instead!
In any case, even if your mark is fine, don't ignore your grammar book over the Summer, and be sure to read a lot in English. As I explained to you, the level of grammar is not sufficient in the group.
I will be in my office (208) on wednesday 8th June from 10 to 12 and from 2 till 4 in the afternoon, and that is the time you can come and look at your exam scripts. I recommend you do if you are taking the resits. If I have a moment I will continue putting useful resources up on this blog.

L3 devoir maison
As you can imagine, I would rather read quality assignments than assignments which have been written too quickly and are full of silliness. So you can have some more time for the assignment based on the documents connected to the Four Nations.
I will accept them until midday, Tuesday 17th May.
Students may hand their assignment in the previous Friday when there is the final exam if they wish; otherwise by midday Tuesday 17 May in my pigeonhole on the first floor (be careful, the teachers' room has moved further down the corridor).
Do not send your work by email; do not tell me on the 18th that your printer is broken. Thank you, and good luck.

I had said that I wanted you to give me your assignments one month after I gave them to you - that is the 8th May. Today, some nice students asked if they could have more time. Yes, everyone can have *a little* more time. I will put up in a couple of days on this blog the new deadline (I have to check out with the administration, so that I have time to mark the assignements before their deadline for the giving in of the marks).
So this weekend I will give you a new deadline, a bit later than the previous one.

I hope you have a good Spring Break.
After the break, there will be two more classes - on the 29th April and the 6th of May. Most likely I will cover "Immigration, racism and antiracism since 1945" and "Debates and issues in Britain in 2011"
On May 13th there is the "épreuve finale de contrôle continu".
The total mark for the module will therefore be made up of three marks
1) The classroom test you took two weeks ago.
2) The research assignment I gave you yesterday, which must be handed in one month from now.
3) The final exam on the 13th May.
Concerning the research assignment, I will post here the instructions for the two or three students who were absent Friday. If you know who they are, let them know, because it will be very hard for them if they are going to start the work only after the break.
I will put online here some links to help you with the research assignment, but the library is the most important source of help.
Concerning the Classroom test, I will put up here your marks as soon as I have got through with the marking. I apologize for the delay.

The four Irish Home Rule bills introduced in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, were intended to grant self-government and national autonomy to the whole of Ireland within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and reverse parts of the Acts of Union 1800. Of the two that passed the Parliament of the United Kingdom the Third Bill, enacted as the Government of Ireland Act 1914 and then suspended, while the Fourth Bill, enacted as the Government of Ireland Act 1920 established two separate Home Rule territories in Ireland, of which the one was implemented by the Parliament of Northern Ireland, but the second Parliament of Southern Ireland was not implemented in the rest of Ireland. The bills were:
1886: First Irish Home Rule Bill defeated in the House of Commons and never introduced in the House of Lords.
1893: Second Irish Home Rule Bill passed the House of Commons, but defeated in the House of Lords.
1914: Third Irish Home Rule Act passed with Royal Assent never came into force, due to the intervention of World War I (1914–18) and of the Easter Rising in Dublin (1916).
1920: Fourth Irish Home Rule Act (replaced Third Act, passed and implemented as the Government of Ireland Act 1920) which established Northern Ireland as a Home Rule entity within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and simultaneously resulted in the partition of Ireland.
