A full exam technique masterclass for the new 2024 onwards Cambridge IGCSE (0470) History Paper 2 exam. Paper 2 was the paper our 2024 cohort did best on this year! By using the methods outlined in this masterclass, our cohort of 90 students achieved an average of 76% - 12% higher than the A threshold*.
This lesson has been produced following the completion of the new Paper 4 IGCSE training course delivered by Cambridge International Examinations for the 2024 specification (CIE).
This resource includes a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation which breaks down the demands of the 2024 IGCSE History Paper 2. With over 20 question formats deconstructed, scaffolded and categorised into ‘question types’, this masterclass offers clear direction and specific instruction on how to craft top quality answers for every Paper 2 style question.
As a BONUS this lesson also includes ‘Writing like a Historian for Source Analysis’ keyword mats and classroom posters to help students develop the quality of their academic language and written communication. These resources have yielded exceptional results, particularly with supporting EAL students to develop their vocabulary and confidence using formal, academic language, as well as serving as a model of good practice to remind more proficient students to be as ambitious as possible with their written expression.
