I am a History/Politics teacher with 11 years teaching experience in the UK, Spain and Mexico. Here I have uploaded some of my resources for the teaching of GCSE/IGCSE, and IB History alongside A Level Politics and the occasional Religious Studies & TOK resource. I tend to focus here more on assessment and revision as I find these are the most time consuming resources to produce for students.

This is a complete unit plan for the Cambridge IGCSE History course (2018 -2022), following the Germany Depth study. It highlights key words, concepts and how the work will be assessed. It acts as an overview of how/when key course content will be delivered over the two year course. Its in a work document and so you can edit the document to include extra units, or resource references.
The unit plan makes references to Ben Walsh’s Modern World History Textbook and the Germany 1918 - 1945 textbook by Greg Lacey and Keith Shepherd.
A big PowerPoint presentation on Japan's road to war (Second World War), the war itself and why it lost. It is in line with the new IB History (2015) Move to Global War Paper 1 prescribed topic.
This Paper 1 Source Paper focuses on Italy's invasion of Abyssinia, its motives and its causes. It follows the structure and question layout of the new Paper 1 IB exam for first examinations in 2017.
This is a Paper 1 (Option B) that presents six of the Cambridge IGCSE core content topics in IGCSE paper format (Questions (a), (b), and (c)) for each topic listed:
1. Were the Peace treaties of 1919-1923 fair? (Summer 2017 Paper Two Source Topic)
2. To what extent was the League of Nations a succes?
3. Why had international peace collapsed by 1939?
4. Who was to blame for the Cold War?
5. How effectively did the USA contain the spread of Communism?
6. How secure was the USSR's control over Eastern Europe 1948 - 1989?
Students are instructed to answer three questions from the above topics in two hours. As this is the end of the first year of the course we have no Section B, Depth Study here as they have yet to study it. The aim of this assessment is to asses students understanding of the core content of the IGCSE course.
I hope this is useful.
