Columbine

Columbine had an impact on all of us. What impact did it have on you? (I was too young to have followed Columbine closely but a decade after the shooting I was learning and hearing about it in school, back when I first learned about I remembered it as the biggest school shooting the US had experienced) What did you think were the reasons behind the mass murder? (Mental Illness and bullying were my initial thoughts) After you answer these questions, read the following article.

10 years later, the real story behind Columbine
http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/04/20/columbine.myths/

Did the news reporting during Columbine influence your opinion on school shootings? (Yes , since I originally thought bullying had been a major influence and it wasnt the case) Are you surprised about the findings in the article? (No because the media always uses the story that they think will be most captivating, so I'm not surprised the true reasons behind the shooting didn't come to light back then) Given your readings from your textbook and after reading this article, what do you think would be the best course of action in handling school violence?

Examine the arguments for the reform of the house of lords

Demonstrate wide reading and a clear grasp of the question. All major points covered. Provides a brief background history on the House of Lords – include and discuss critique of the HOLs i.e. undemocratic due to it being unelected, lack of representation for large parts of UK, discussion on how reform would give the HOLs a full mandate to initiate and amend legislation. Candidates should also include arguments against the HOLs reform, i.e. how it might cause more problems. How the House of Commons would no longer be supreme – the HOLs would become more career based politicians rather than have experts from different fields. Legislation would be harder to pass and therefore would not be able to carry out their manifesto promises as easily because it would become more party based as is with the US model. Offer a brief discussion about the 3 Rs. Candidate offers critical evaluation and independent discussion of all major points with respect to facts, principles, theories and interpretations. Show originality and ability to identify connections between all major points. Present argument in a strong confident writing style; excellent organisation and presentation.
