A* GRADE AQA ALEVEL DEMOCRACY AND NAZISM BUNDLE
MercedesvanNiekerkMercedesvanNiekerk

A* GRADE AQA ALEVEL DEMOCRACY AND NAZISM BUNDLE

(0)
I achieved an A* in AQA History A-Level. This is a revision bundle for the 2O Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-1945 paper. It includes just shy of 20 essay plans, all with a primary focus on clear stucture with detailed, developed points. There are also a couple of mind-maps, mostly based around 1923 Hyperinflation/1930 Depression and The Rise of the Nazis. My hope is that this bundle can almost provide you with a strong formula for essay planing as all of the contents follow the exact same pattern that will help to bring a sense of clarity into the exam hall! DISCLAIMER- Although this an A-Level specific bundle, it has plenty of overlap with the GCSE course so is ideal alongside my ‘Democracy and Dictatorship’ bundle for those aiming for Grade 9s.
A* GRADE TUDOR AQA ALEVEL BUNDLE

A* GRADE TUDOR AQA ALEVEL BUNDLE

(0)
I achieved an A* in AQA History A-Level. This is a bundle of past paper practice on the 1C Tudors 1485-1603 module. It includes a total of 32 documents ranging from basic essay plans, detailed essay plans, timed practice A* responses and fully teacher marked work on all five monarchs and on each of the subtopics - Character/Aims, Government, Economy, Society, Foreign Policy and Religion. Reading and writing essays in response to past questions is one of the best ways to revise - it allows you to develop your time management and essay structures, two very important aspects of A Level exams.

This bundle includes not only ‘key quotes’, example introductions and timed/marked essays on the presentation and significance of Eva Smith and Mr Birling, but also context, The Ouspensky Theory and dramatic structure/device, all which will help you achieve those top grades.
Poem on Vesalius

Poem on Vesalius

(0)
A resource that will hopefully add a bit of fun into the GCSE ‘Medicine Through Time’ course and help with student memorization of (in this case) Vesalius. This type of learning technique works particularly well for History as a whole as key facts can be condensed into a memorable passage, great for focusing knowledge and building a strong foundation for exams.
