AQA GCSE History Historic Environment Sheffield Manor Lodge Literacy

This is a resource designed to introduce sources H and I from the resource pack produced by the exam board. Students can struggle with reading lengthy and complicated sources so ‘Write like an historian’ has been introduced to get students to familiarise themselves with parts of the text, look for new words and define what they mean as well as then summarising the text in their own words. The activity can be carried out individually, in pairs or in groups. Students could also use collaborative reading strategies such as reciprocal reading to further break down the text.
I would recommend blowing the handouts up to A3 to allow annotation and questions as students go through the text.
