US Politics - Comparative 12-Mark Questions

Designed for teachers and students of Pearson’s new A-Level Politics specification.

This resource (booklet) provides students with useful tips on technique for answering both non-theory and comparative theory 12-mark questions in the Component 3 exam.

These tips include incredibly useful paragraph structures that students can apply to either type of 12-mark question. An activity is included for both 12-mark question types to get students to practise these paragraph structures.

The rest of the resource includes planning tables for a comprehensive range of 12-mark questions that have been created based on the exam board specifcation.

**Specifically, these questions relate to the US Constitution and Federalism sub-topic of Component 3
**
The points of comparison for each question have been noted down already and students can work independently to fill the tables, using the suggested paragraph technique.

At the front of the resource is a checklist for students to tick off once they have planned or answered in full any of the questions inside.
