Historical essay sketches for graduates - Intermediate and advanced level

Motto: "Think for a moment and see the world change accordingly." 2005 is the year of the introduction of the new type of baccalaureate. What is changing? Everything. The defining element of the examination reform is the emphasis on and assessment of ability-based requirements (competences). Our publication promotes the development of the necessary lexical (background) knowledge and historical key competencies (processing and evaluating sources, using technical language, orientation in time and space, etc.). The book is primarily intended for students preparing for the baccalaureate, preparatory teachers, and those who have previously passed the baccalaureate, but it provides useful knowledge for anyone interested in history. In addition to the knowledge of solving new types of tasks, the official baccalaureate exam requirements list also prescribes the lexical knowledge necessary for the history baccalaureate exam, which we have summarized in this publication. In the words of Churchill: "I can promise nothing but blood and toil, tears and sweat". This volume and our other publications contribute greatly to effective preparation, but in themselves, without human will and desire for knowledge, they are worth nothing. We kindly recommend to your attention the other volumes in our series, especially the book Literary Essay Variants for Matriculation Examinations, which contains essay variants compiled in accordance with the requirements of the Matriculation Examination.
