AQA Paper 2, Question 2 and Paper 2, Question 3 Lesson

Learning Objectives:

• Demonstrate knowledge of Paper 2 requirements.
• Complete a Paper 2, Question 2 and a Paper 2, Question 3 response.

This is a lesson that I have carried out recently with much success. Slides have space for you to add in your department’s logo, should you wish to do so.

Students are required to recap the requirements of each question in Paper 2, along with the marks that are available. This is revisited again as part of the plenary.

Following this, students are required to gradually build a response to a typical Paper 2, Question 2 using two resources. They are then given a timed assessment on this. The resources detail a 21st Century experience of London and a 19th Century experience of London.

For their last activity, students are required to gradually build a response to a typical Paper 2, Question 3 using another resource. Again, they are given a timed assessment. There is extension work available (peer assessment using a marking scheme). The resource provided details a 19th Century experience of London in the snow.
