Complete 8-mark data response question.
When writing your A04, remember to look for the main trends - what has happened (and is predicted to happen) to fossil fuels over time? How do gas trends differ from oil and coal? How has nuclear changed over time? And renewables?
When writing your AO3 (explain and analyse), refer to the colourful table you got after the sorting exercise today - it gives reasons for all these trends.
In terms of structure, you could do a big AO4 paragraph then a big AO3 paragraph or you could do a paragraph on fossil fuels that does AO4 and AO3, then a paragraph on nuclear, then a paragraph on renewables.
If you have trouble reading off the graph, let me know we can meet for a couple of minutes to talk it through. Remember you are essentially looking at the width of each shaded area - so nuclear increases from 1970, peaks around 2000 at around 20%, then decreases a bit by 2024 to around 10%. The white area gets wider then a bit narrower - that means increase then decrease
