I originally made this as a guide for new students who came into the school part way through the course. Now all students complete it when we are doing the USA topic.
It is 83 pages long, includes tasks, exam practice, second order concept skills practice and key word opportunities. It covers the entire USA topic and has tasks related to every section like comprehension exercises, filling in a table, case studies, diamond 9 and designing an advert for a Jazz speakeasy. Every exam question on the paper is planned and practiced with mark schemes and room for student improvements. It can be used hand in hand with the free book resource from Eduqas on their website. At the end of the book is a PLC on the whole topic for students to check their knowledge and set targets. https://resources.eduqas.co.uk/Pages/ResourceByArgs?subId=17
There are three files:
(1) sources relating to the USA 1910-1929
(2) Interpretations to the USA 1910-1929
(3) Knowledge check
(1 & 2) Designed to be used as part of intervention sessions with GCSE History students but can also be good revision.
Each file gives examples of all the source / interpretation questions on the exam paper and includes a table with each source / interpretation to help students plan how to answer the questions. The table is based on the mark scheme so requires student to work out for each source / interpretation specifics such as ‘what is the content’? ‘what context would you use?’ ‘what about the author?’ ’ who is the audience of the source?’ etc.
After the exam questions are practice questions for students such as…
What other interpretations are there to:
The First World War was the main cause of the boom.
Or
What contextual knowledge would you use to evidence…
… corruption in government
… black people were segregated etc.
OR
How reliable is a source written by a …?
… flapper?
… Republican? etc
The sources file has 26 pages
the interpretations file has 14 pages
