These lessons go beyond the minimum requirements of the specification (e.g. studying more pressure groups, more elections, more minor parties and more prime ministers than required) and include: **LIST OF MATERIALS IN THE FULL 125 LESSONS ACROSS TOPIC BUNDLES** Between 2 and 4 homeworks set per week; 16 assessment opportunities (8 in class, 8 as homework); An exam technique sheet; 8 substantial knowledge tests, each out of 100 marks; Further reading integrated (although you will need to purchase the relevant books yourself). The core textbook for students to use is UK Government and Politics for AS/A-Level, 5th ed. by Philip Lynch, Paul Fairclough and Toby Cooper. I recommend buying enough for all students. On rare occasions, activities will reference the Pearson textbook. If you wish to do these activities, this book is Edexcel GCSE Politics AS and A-Level Student Book and eBook - worth snapping up a copy of this also. Further reading homeworks make use of the following books (all easily found on Amazon and not expensive): UK Politics Annual Update 2020, UK Politics Annual Update 2019, UK Government & Politics Annual Update 2018, UK Government & Politics Annual Update 2017, Isabel Hardman’s Why We Get the Wrong Politicians and Steve Richards’ The Prime Ministers: Reflections on Leadership from Wilson to May.
