AQA GCSE History: Health and the People & Norman England exam hint sheet

One of the most useful resources I’ve produced, I give this to all students for revision. This sheet gives the student a “bite-size” reminder of what is required for each type of question on PAPER TWO of the new GCSE Paper - this example is for in the Health and the People and Norman England sections of the new AQA GCSE history exam.

Easily adaptable for other topics on Paper TWO.

PLEASE NOTE-I’ve been having real problems with the preview feature. To try and solve this I’ve had to space out the content in word (easily un-doable once downloaded!) I’ve also copied an example of the sheet (looking at question 1) below:

01 Study Source A. How useful is Source A to a historian studying ……………………… (8 marks)
With these ‘utility’ (or usefulness) questions, the key thing is to refer to both the content and the provenance of the sources to explain the how/why the source is useful. You might choose to one para on content and the other provenance…
Make sure you don’t describe the source – focus on picking out a few aspects of it and ensure you say WHY IT IS USEFUL. Try to think about what the source shows about attitudes at the time and why this might be useful.
