These resources are for A Level AQA students studying the NEA (Non-Examined Assessment) Component 3. The coursework that I have designed for my students centres on witchcraft in Europe from 1560-1660. The course looks at the different causes of witch-hunting across Europe, mainly in England, Scotland and Germany. The notes will build up over the course to which students will answer a coursework question focusing on the causes of witch-hunting between 1560 and 1660. This year my students completed the question:
“Within the context of the years 1560-1660, to what extent were socio-economic factors the main reason for the growth in witch-hunting persecutions in Europe?”
The first section of the course is the breadth study. Students will learn the wider historical context of witch-hunting and the beliefs in witches across Europe as a whole in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The Hodder Education textbook by Alan Farmer called “Access to History: The Witchcraze of the 16th and 17th centuries” will be an essential textbook reference for these lessons.

Some very useful material in these lessons and very neatly presented. <br /> Can I ask, why is the essay /25 marks on the front of the student booklet?
Great work - based on the exellent work by Brian P Levack. Highly recommend.
Thanks for these resources. This is my first time teaching the NEA and these resources will be of great help! <br /> <br /> Can I just ask, what documentary do you refer to in the first lesson? <br /> <br /> Many Thanks!
Brilliant resources as always! Really helpful for this part of the course!
Excellent resources however the handout that is referred to in the ppts is not included. Therefore students cannot complete the tasks. Please could you send this hand out to me. With the handout this would be a 5 star rating. Thank you.
