If you are doing the IGCSE Edexcel The Origins and Course of the First World War, 1905 - 1918 I have just built the complete course over 12 lessons.
I have made this completely free for now as I would like to give back to the teaching community.
Your students will need the student book to complete this course with your students. However, there are plenty of exercises and task that do not need the book.
So help yourself to a wonderful array of lessons that I hope will help your teaching and enhance your students learning.
I would love some reviews of the work, as well as comment and feel free to subscibe and follow my channel.

I had this idea in the summer of 2017, to help students answer the tricky source question, which seems to always cause problems. I had tried anagrams and memory tools, and these helped a lot. This tool, however, changed grades significantly.
A great and simple revision tool for students, events and key terms linked to the era’s should be handy for revision or getting students to read before entering class.
There is also a book: Changing Nature of Warfare 1918 - 2011
The research and information done has taken several years, and covers in great detail the history of the events, battles, operations, change and continuity within this topic, as well as including quotes of the men and women involved.
Here is a link to the book on Amazon:
