An 18-page booklet outlining the OCR Spec for the American West/Medicine presented in a tick box style for students to use to help to guide their revision, and a 'how to' guide for how to answer the questions based on the 2015 paper.
This booklet is well-presented and easy for pupils to use, and can be easily adapted for any topic/unit.
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.
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.
A teacher-friendly resource showing the different types of questions asked on Paper 1, advice from the exam board on how to answer these and an exemplar answer given as part of the resources from the Webinar.
An A4 subject knowledge audit which students stick in their books at the start of the Making of America Course. It can easily be adapted to suit your needs, but it covers the course specification.
An A3 sheet providing students with an overview of the Making of America course for the new AQA GCSE History Course. It includes Key Dates and Key Terms and the types of exam questions that they will have to use.
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.
