OCR GCSE History: America Land of the Free - Black Civil rights 1945 - 62

This tried and tested resource includes a wide range of revision notes, tasks, activities and assessment for learning that are suitable for the full ability spectrum at GCSE History. It is aimed at helping students studying Black Civil Rights as part of the OCR GCSE Modern World History: USA Land of the Free. It is part one of a two part series, which I have had to break up due to size of the resource.

The booklet comes in two sections. The first resource is a study guide which includes revision notes and sources on the history of the Black Civil Rights movement from 1945 - 1963. ' Accompanying each section are a range of interactive activities and tasks from pro and con organisers, thinking skills triangles to various mind map activities to help reinforce and check students knowledge and understanding.

The second section, is made up of a series of past paper questions from OCR's GCSE on this topic. Accompanying these questions are student guides on how to answer each type of question as well as a student mark scheme for self / peer assessment. If you do a different exam board, you can easily drop in your own mark schemes into the table format and adapt this resource.
