British Reforms Assessment for KS3 or KS4, following NEW GCSE AQA exam style questions and marking criteria (all provided). The assessment takes its focus through the campaign for votes for women, starting with an 8 mark source based question focusing on suffragettes being force fed in prison (How useful is this source to a historian studying the women’s suffrage movement). This is followed by a 10 mark significance question comparing the impact of theWSUP and the NWSSU (Explain which group was more significant in helping women to win the vote, the WSUP or the NWSSU). The final question is a 16 mark evaluation question, which allows students to incorporate information about male suffrage in relation to women ultimately winning the right to vote (Women would never have won the vote without WW1 occurring).
