GCSE Source Analysis Table

Source Analysis Table GSCE (PREVIEW IS ONLY A SECTION)

What is this: a source analysis table that I developed to allow GCSE students to briefly and easily analyse sources - I usually pair this with an A3 sheet of sources.

Printing: best printed out double sided (flip long edge) with the instructions on the other side so students can just curl up the bottom to see the instructions.

There are accompanying slides to use with this resource which I may post at a later date.

Curriculum: the current descriptions are based on the GCSE Medicine through time module, however it can easily be adapted for other modules e.g. Germany.

Delivery: two choices about how the resource can be deployed in lessons:

1. All students try to complete the whole table for X amount of sources - this will definitely require a model done together in class and prior knowledge, however will work well towards the end of a GCSE module or for Trench Medicine.
2. A group work resource with students being given a ‘colour’ at the start of the lesson or prior to this in order to facilitate differentiation - purple (content) being the easiest to handle moving up to blue nature) being the most difficult.
   In either scenario it’s important to stress that full sentences are not needed but they must add explanation.
