Three strand or five strand mode across the four spec areas
How this works. Ecologism on Paper 2 can be examined as three strands or five. Three strand mode keeps Social Ecology as one umbrella (Bookchin). Five strand mode splits Social Ecology into Eco-Socialism, Eco-Anarchism and Eco-Feminism, the three sub-strands the spec lists. Pick a mode, pick an area, draw a random pair, write what each strand says, then write the differences and similarities. The green Check my work button gives a keyword check. Reveal the model answers when you are ready and compare. Your work saves automatically.
Differences where the two strands disagree
Write the points of disagreement in your own words. Try to weave the two strands together in each sentence rather than listing them one then the other.
Hint
Similarities where the two strands agree
Even strands that look opposed often share core ecologist ground. Find what they have in common.
Hint
Quick check
A simple keyword check against what an examiner would expect for this round. Green ticks are good. Amber arrows are things to add.
