A single sentence
introduction

• Before you can answer a K&U question, you must
have the K&U (duh!!)
• How do you get it?
• Use your revision checklist and text to find the
points and the explanations
• use your text or other source - especially the
media and the internet - to find examples
(good examples get good marks)
• make a plan using the P.E.E. system
Dat’s all folks
Round of applause!
