AQA GCSE History Writing Frames (Desk Mats)

These writing frames or ‘Desk Mats’ provide the following for every exam question type on Paper 1 and Paper 2:

• Question wording e.g. ‘How useful is Source A to a historian studying…?’ or ‘Write an account of how … led to an international crisis.’
• Overall guidance on what is required in the question
• Sentence starters
• Timing advice

Whilst these Desk Mats are specifically geared towards America 1920-73, Conflict and Tension 1918-39, Elizabethan England 1568-1603 and Power and the People 1170-present day, the above guidance applies to all papers so minimal tweaking will be needed.

This resources is perfect for anyone looking to provide stronger exam structure advice to GCSE History students on the AQA exam.
