Critical analysis of sources Critical thinking Understanding opinions and facts

This midterm test is an exam question. Your child does not study content for this subject but instead develops research skills and critical analysis skills. The sources in the exam can be on any topic that has global resonance. Students are encouraged to read the pages in Section D and if they want to prepare they can practise some of the questions. Advice will be given by the teachers in the week before the test as well.

There are no specific pages to revise from as there is no content to revise. Any section is relevant from: Pages 211 to 272
