Narrative / Analysis Graphic Organiser for Sixth Form & GCSE Students
Roy_HugginsRoy_Huggins

Narrative / Analysis Graphic Organiser for Sixth Form & GCSE Students

(0)
This simple but effective graphic organiser is critical tool for teachers struggling to get their students to understand the difference between the low level narrative (story telling) and higher level analysis note taking and ultimately essay writing. I would recommend modelling how to use this resource on the IWB or to help weaker students by putting in sub headings. So for example, if I was looking at why women got the vote, I might have the different stages in the narrative section where students could record the key facts. I would then challenge them to explain why these events / facts were important and to write them up in the analysis section. Another good use of this amazing tool is to get students to review another students essay or a journal article. Very quickly those students who are stuck at the borderline between a 'D' and a 'C' will quickly understand the difference between narrative and analysis and so aid them in making more effective notes and writing better essays.

Historical Interpretations Graphic Organiser for A Level and GCSE.
Roy_HugginsRoy_Huggins

Historical Interpretations Graphic Organiser for A Level and GCSE.

(0)
This great graphic organiser can be used with your A Level and GCSE students to help them assess two different interpretations of history. The headings that I have included are Accepted View / Revisionist View. So for example, I might give my students two books or articles to look at on why the slave trade was abolished. One might argue that it was down to the role of white abolitionists, whilst the other might look at black resistance. The Judgement box at the bottom is designed to get students to evaluate which interpretation they agree with. This resource is best printed off on A3. Its simple, but it delivers great results.

A freestyle round can also be introduced, allowing students to choose which game to play, catering to their individual learning styles. To further engage underachieving boys, consider incorporating a competitive element by having them keep score in the back of their books.
