• All lesson PowerPoints, work sheets and information sheets provided. Information has been written for students with a reading age of 12. Assessment is based on the Edexcel GCSE Source Analysis skill set.
• This scheme of work has been designed for a year 9 class that has as finished looking at World War 1 and is starting to look at the events leading up to World War 2.
