In light of the new specification, I've created an easy to read document outlining the exam questions in each paper with examples taken from resources provided by AQA. This allows teachers to easily spot patterns in the types of questions asked.

AQA (9-1) GCSE History - Health and the People - Mock Exam and Mark Scheme

(0)
A mock exam for AQA GCSE History Health and the People. Made from questions given by AQA and in the textbook. There is a double sided sheet for students, and the layout is in the same layout as the exam paper. After the exam, there is space for students to reflect on their performance before it is marked. I've also included a mark scheme. I have given this to my students after Lesson 20. I will then give them feedback which should help them for a final End of Unit Mock Exam at the end of the course.

You will need a copy of the green AQA approved Conflict and Tension 1918-39 textbook for the activities. This is a very simple lesson but the slides are ready to teach and it covers everything from the AQA specification.

AQA GCSE History (9-1) Health and the People Course Companion

(1)
A 'Course Companion' that will be given to students at the start of the unit 'Health and the People'. It cover the course specification as a check list that students can tick to check their subject knowledge. As well as covering the specification, it goes through exam questions, telling students how long they should spend on each question, and for 2x questions given them sentence starters. After this, 3 answers are given to students so that they can see the difference between the different marks. There is space for students to write in examples of sample questions. All information in the booklet is taken from the AQA Website and from webinar materials.
AQA GCSE History Assessment - Nazi Germany

AQA GCSE History Assessment - Nazi Germany

(0)
AQA GCSE History Assessment - Nazi Germany An assessment booklet that can be printed into a folded booklet. You must have a copy of the red AQA GCSE textbook as it refers to questions in that textbook. There is space for students to write answers, for teacher feedback, and also instructions on how to structure each answer. For each question, there is also a sample answer from AQA for students to see, and there is a knowledge checklist at the front for the whole course. This has worked really well, especially for a class who need more ‘structure’. For marking, it’s much easier for me to take in than the exercise books too. I have now made them for each of the units that I teach. FYI: There are 2 documents - this is for page numbers purposes (I didn’t want page 1 to be the front cover!)

AQA GCSE History Assessment - Germany 1890-1945

(0)
This is an assessment book for students studying AQA History: Germany 1890-1945. For each of the 6 Question types there are exemplar answers with commentary (from AQA), tips on how to structure the response, and 2x practice questions for each question type, with the mark scheme below each question (making marking easy as the teacher can highlight/underline the appropriate comments) and then space for additional teacher comments. I have found these booklets so helpful as all of their practice questions are in one place, so it’s easy for students to see my comments on their first attempt of this question to then take this feedback on board when writing this again. All of the appropriate sources are in the booklet, so this is ready to be printed and used.

A five lesson introduction to the new AQA GCSE History Making of America course looking at the American West. The resources needed can be printed straight from the Powerpoint. There is NO exam technique/how to answer essay questions in these lessons. I am still working on a resource to teach this to students, so this will be up soon as a separate powerpoint, and teachers can then fit bits into their own lessons.

Five lessons (most of which are double lessons) covering Part 2 of the New AQA GCSE History Making of America course: - Fort Laramie Treaty - The Indians Wars - Causes of American Civil War - Home front in Civil War - Mountain Meadow Massacre Most resources have been adapted from the resources suggested by AQA. The other sheets I have made based on what the specification expects students to know. These lessons don't cover exam technique.
