This lesson provides: A reasonably extensive coverage of the different electoral systems that are required for analysis in the Edexcel specification A scaffold for evaluating the different electoral systems in coming to a judgement between them. A sample question that provides a completely made-up source (so that you can use without fear of reducing the pool of resources already available to students for practicing source questions for this specification). The presentation is best delivered through the PowerPoint presentation mode, as each electoral system slide comes with buttons which will link you to the strengths, weaknesses and specific examples for students to know for each system. Just click on these during the presentation and it will move to the correct slide. I have also used data from the electoral commission to create a visual representation of the % make up of seats that would have occurred in the 2017 general election. On slide 21, an additional version of this image is shown - this shows the actual % split of votes so that you can compare each of the images against it. Each individual circle within these images constitutes 1% of the vote.

This bundle contains the bulk of the resources I used to provide my A-Level unit on Britain, 1625-1701 (Edexcel) last year. It contains a combination of PowerPoint presentations as well as worksheets. Although this represents a significant amount of time and effort, I am only pricing this at £10 as it comes with some caveats: These resources will not be sufficient for the full provision of the political and religious components of the A-Level course. Some lessons are built on the presumption that you have access to the core textbook. They provide direction on relevant pages and recommended tasks, however most lessons are not built on this and if you do not have access to the textbook then there will still be value in accessing the information in the bundle as well as the structure that the course was carried out in. There is some direction to external websites given in the notes. One task in the unit directs you towards Massolit, which is an incredible resource and I would highly recommend making use of it. The course will still require extensive time dedicated to understanding the course. Some slides direct discussion, but do not provide all of the information. Although I’d consider this level of knowledge expected to successfully run an A-Level course, I understand that it is a limitation of the resource that it is not comprehensive in and of itself. This bundle is intended as a resource to draw from. Some lessons you may feel comfortable running with without much amending. However, I’m only sharing this as it is a course I taught for one year and now will not be teaching again due to A-Level changes within the department, so I hope it is of some use in flushing out the courses for other teachers.

In delivering this lesson, I needed to carry some content over into the subsequent lesson. As such, I have provided both presentation documents so that you may draw as you’d like from each in building out/delivering your own lesson. These lessons look at the Purges and the Secret Police, including an information sheet for students to read.
