Revision activity for students to complete covering presidents Lydon B Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan in terms of their Domestic and Foreign Policy. In line with the A2 AQA American Dream unit.

This is just a lovely little starter activity that can be used for revision on the Mid Tudors Edward and Mary and religious settlement of Elizabeth I. Cards need to be cut out and students then match up the answer with the question - they should then follow in a sequence if they've matched them up correctly. This is a super revision activity that I have used with lots of success for many years.

Included are 9 revision tasks covering the Yr 12 unit for the AQA American Dream, Reality Vs illusion unit. The tasks encourage independence with own revision as they have choices, but also offers them guidance for support. These task will also be excellent useful revision for Yr 13. There are resources supplied for 6 our of the 9 different suggested revision tasks. The tasks range from planning essays, source work questions, quizzes, and card sort tasks. There are some red herrings - which should allow from some good discussion opportunities. The content covers, domestic including economic, political and social issues as well and foreign policy issues. I have used these in conjunction with my President chart overview - a separate document you can buy. Students complete the various activities such as - which policy which president? and Which Foreign policy, which president? which serves as helpful reminder, confidence boost, or a - "I really need to get stuck into some revision!" for students! A win win! This is tried and tested and worked brilliantly with my year 12 this year!

A lesson on Edward I. It covers the age of chivalry and the age of professional warfare. It examines 2 case studies as Edward I embarked upon his war in Wales and Scotland and then the hundred years war with France. Students are asked to complete worksheets and answer questions examining the impact of these conflicts on local, national, governement and psychological levels. The lesson draws together the key themes with a section on whether infact this period was an age of chivalry or an age of professional warfare. There are also some practise GCSE questions at the end. Attached is a ppt which has the resources at the end which can be printed off and completed by the students.

Contains a ppt which breaks down analysing Primary sources and the exam questions and an accompanying worksheet. The combination allows students to try and work through their own responses whilst supporting them if they are struggling. It is based on the extent of affluence in the USA by the early 1960s, so needs to be used towards the end of the yr 12 or first year of A2, where students will have obtained enough contextual knowledge to be able to answer the question comprehensively. As this source question is based at the end of part 1 I have NOT included the the "How to analyse Primary sources flow-chart" which I make reference to at the end of the ppt- it is hoped that students have already had some experience of constructing answers at this stage. However, the document can also be purchased if guidance is still required.

A whole lesson that encourages students to break down an AS or A2 exam question about the policy of containment. The lesson develops by encouraging students to consider the key words, the debate and key evidence for the question.

Concluding thoughts are also included.

A short activity covering some key aspects of the OCR international relations unit with Russia as its depth study. The quiz contains 4 rounds - some with pictures, and is a great starter activity encouraging learners to think and to engage them in the process of revision.

Hot the heels of my AS flow chart I have created a version for my A2 students and thought you would appreciate it. It is in line with the AQA requirements but with a little bit of tweaking it would be useful for any of the exam boards requirments for primary source analysis. Whilst not a restrictive formula, it does offer guidance for weaker students to follow an order to allow them to cover all aspects on the AQA mark scheme. It also works as a check list for the more able. This is subtly different from the AS version as there is no need for a judgment at AS, however the exam board does state that sources can be used and linked together where deemed appropriate and relevant.

This was the first revision session that I taught as an extra after school this year for the new explaining the modern world course. It does a whistle stop tour of the The Treaty of Versailles, League of Nations and an activity on the causes of WW2 and the interpretations of appeasement. As it is a revision session, it does not cover everything - but certainly gives the students enough coverage of the key events to start them on their own independent study. Attached is a sheet which works along side the ppt, setting mini activities for students to complete. There is also opportunities for students to complete some 5 mark style questions. At the end of the ppt there is a quick revision game of bingo.
