This resource includes a comprehension question worksheet and teacher answer sheet for evaluating the historical references and the significance of the historical events represented in the historic Christmas film ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.
A perfect activity for a History themed, Christmas film lesson or as part of a co-curricular History film club to consolidate their knowledge, ‘test’ the accuracy of the films’ representation of History and provide some engaging talking and discussion points afterwards!
The film takes place in America and spans the 1920s-1940s with the majority of the film centered on the 1930s. With numerous features and excellent references to the economic boom, 1920s entertainment and city life, the Wall Street Crash, the Great Depression and the impact of WWII, this film is perfect for crystalising the key concepts within any America depth study or module (especially for the IGCSE and GCSE curricula) and bringing History to life (against the backdrop of Christmas!)
This resource is designed to give students a crash course in the importance of dissecting sources carefully, rather than taking them at face value. Using one of the more complex League of Nations sources (which many students every year misinterpret), this lesson demonstrates to students how the overlooking or omission of the more subtle details of the source can COMPLETELY change the meaning and that consequently, with the clearest structure, the most sophisticated and ambitious features of written communication and the accurate analysis of numerous sub messages, their mark risks being capped at 50% if the main message is overlooked.
I have also used it as cautionary tale to reinforce the danger of underestimating the challenge in a ‘what is the main message?’ question but ultimately the principles learned in this lesson apply to every source on every paper. In short, the highest marks are reserved for the most observant students, who include nuance in the exam answers and most importantly, that only with the most careful and comprehensive studying of the source can you hope to accurately piece together the main message and arrive at the most accurate conclusion.
All materials are designed in preparation for the 2025 CIE IGCSE exam on KQ2 - The League of Nations (0470) to help students master their source analysis skills and hit every mark on that mark scheme!
This lesson has been produced following the completion of the New 2024 onwards IGCSE specification training course delivered by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
My last exam cohort of 90 students gained an average A grade overall at IGCSE, with 91% achieving an A-A*. Paper 2 was their strongest paper! The type of coaching in this lesson is what got them there.

These models are fantastic for demonstrating excellent source skills in a tangible way and providing a benchmark for students to aim towards. Buying them in this bundle not only saves you money but countless precious hours writing exam responses from scratch!
Sometimes students struggle to understand instructions such as ‘more devloped explanation needed’ or ‘more nuanced evlauation/analysis needed’ but with a full mark answer to lay alongside their own responses they can see more clearly where they are excelling and what they are missing out / not developing! In a pupil voice conducted at the end of last year - students were unanimous in their feedback that the model answers alongside the exam technique masterclasses were the greatest help in developing their written exam skills!
My last exam cohort of 91 students gained an average A grade overall at IGCSE, with 91% achieving an A*-A. Paper 2 was their strongest paper.
How can I use these resources?
This resources can be used as a preparation lesson in advance of a mock exam or even for the mock exam itself since the exam paper is formatted to replicate the real 2025 IGCSE exam. The model answers can be used for students to peer or self assess in order to speed up the marking process, or as exemplars to be given alongside teacher feedback to cross compare with their own to better identify areas of strength and weakness in their own answers.
Additionally, the models could be drip fed to students via in class activities to revise the demands of each question, and consolidate their understanding of how to hit every mark on the mark scheme.
