<p>This is a unique resource, nothing else matches it on TES for the OCR Russia and its rulers 1855-1965 A Level course.</p> <p>I took me ages to create - it provides the detailed factual evidence for the course in a <strong>thematic</strong> way, which enables clear teaching and effective revision.</p> <p>The students that I have taught have achieved great results on this paper as a result of using this. They find writing their essays so much easier!</p>

<p>Russia and its Rulers 1855-1964 Exemplar Thematic and Synthetic Essays.</p> <p>A series of entire exemplar essays for past paper questions (and a few made-up questions) that achieved full-marks for the A-Level OCR History course. These essays will hopefully, in full, show you have to tackle a question, the ‘formular’ that is required of you, and the level of detail involved in the time limit. Hopefully you will see through these essays, the criteria that needs to be established, synthesis used to come to an interim judgement, and then an overall judgement at the end.</p> <p>20 pages of detailed FULL essays - roughly 1.5 pages per thematic essay.</p> <p>Do not hesitate to email <a href="mailto:alevelrevisionmadeeasy@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">alevelrevisionmadeeasy@gmail.com</a> should you have any questions regarding these essays or the course in general.

<p>This pack of resources will take a class through the whole GCSE Migration to Britain unit from start to finish within 30 hours of classroom teaching time.</p> <p>This pack is a set of complete Teacher led PowerPoints which also include assessment tasks including tasks for assessment review.</p> <p>Additional resource packs have also been made with; ‘Student centred PowerPoints’, ‘Student centred worksheets’ and ‘Revision tasks and support materials’.</p> <p>We have taught this unit using these resources for two consecutive years and has become our highest performing unit.</p> <p>The resources are made with speed and efficiency in mind and this allows for the unit to be taught in an extremely accessible way for students. The Edexcel textbook will sit as an additional resource but all the necessary course content has been embedded into the PowerPoints.</p>

<p>This lesson summarises the key scientific changes that affect the decline of the witchcraze.<br /> Any textbook pages refer to the course textbook for Edexcel.<br /> Pupils start with a what do you know exercise, before reorganising a timeline as a class - answers on the powerpoint - pupils should be able to do this from their existing knowledge if you have completed the case studies first. Pupils then watch a short overview video before completing targeted worksheets, using the textbook and/or a simplified overview powerpoint.<br /> Pupils then summarise a a class using an impact line before completing a concept diagram.</p>

Various PPT's shared to me by some one and have changed them slightly - work well along side the key textbook by Oliver Bullock<br /> free resources

<p>Included are four medicine through time thematic timelines.<br /> These are great for revision sessions - students add on lines to show when each development started/ stopped. Then add annotations to show the WASIIC factors which caused the change/ continuity.</p> <p>Designed for teacher supported revision sessions or lessons or independent homework which will be checked later…</p> <p>Also included a summary of all Edexcel Medicine through time past paper questions for the section B questions on one handy 2 page document<br /> Recommended printing to A3.</p>

<p>This powerpoint covers 2-3 hours of teaching time, and aims to summarise the key areas covered by the course textbook.<br /> Pupils start by recalling information from the depth studies.<br /> Pupils then look at the role of individuals, fraudulent cases and sceptical publications.<br /> They will do this through reading and summation, crosswords, comic strip, card sort and ambassadors, before concluding with a class discussion and brief links to essay writing.</p>

<p>Timeline for British Public Health (c1000-Present Day) - split into sections for easy revision.</p> <p>Designed for the AQA GCSE History Themetic Study but can be used for any of the studies on Public Health or Medicine in Britain.</p> <p>I have students stick the timeline on the back of their books for easy reference throughout the topic to ensure that students understand the chronology and wider context or the period. Also makes a great revision tool for students!</p>

<p>Within this unit of work, you will see a series of lessons focusing on the Thematic/Breadth study of the Tudor Rebellions 1485-1603 about: Governance and the Centre and Governing the Localities. For these resources you will need to ensure you have the textbook to use from as well! It also contains revision sheets/breakdowns per topic. Students really benefitted from having these which formed a revision booklet for them.</p>

<p>Russia and its Rulers 1855-1964 Extensive and Useful Essay Plans for the Thematic Questions.</p> <p>Although content revision (taken from various textbooks) can be very useful, I decided to write ‘skeletal’ and memorable essay plans for many possible questions that could come up for the thematic side of the exam (two 25-mark essays).</p> <p>The Essay Plans have been written for 32 ‘made-up’ possible questions (questions that have not yet come up in an exam paper, but have come up in textbooks written for this course). Nature of Government: 14 questions, Economy and Society: 12 questions and Wars: 6 questions .</p> <p>The Plans have been designed so that when you enter into the exam, you already know how to tackle the question: Introduction (establish criteria and set out three to four themes); Theme Paragraphs (what is the sub-theme and then synthesis across the period followed by interim judgement) and finally coming to an overall judgement at the end by bringing together your themes, factors and criteria.</p> <p>Hopefully these exam plans will be very useful for active revision, but should you have any questions regarding this resource or the course in general, please do not hesitate to email <a href="mailto:alevelrevisionmadeeasy@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">alevelrevisionmadeeasy@gmail.com</a>.

<p>These quizzes are for Edexcel but they will also work for AQA for the most part (minor tweaks only). They are thematic- 20 questions per theme with a separate 20 questions on the case studies. (Care and Treatment is huge so this has 22) The questions/ answers are also all in chronological order to help support the building of a narrative of change over time.</p> <p>They are based on the WASIIC factors we use to explain reasons for change/ continuity (War, Attitudes, Science and TEch, Institutions, Individuals and Chance).</p> <p>Box for self evaluation at the bottom. We use these to check how well students are revising- we set them themes to revise each week then quiz them in class in test conditions. They can be peer marked to save time and you still get the results to put in your mark book if you need.</p>

<p>Powerpoint of the 4 themes in the OCR A-Level History course from 2015. Contains Causation, Nature, Impact and Maintenance of Political Stability. It also contains lists of past exam questions for each theme, as well as the relevant factors to apply into an essay.</p>
