Lesson 1: Peace Conferences WWII and the Grand Alliance Lesson 2: Escalating tensions and breakdown of Grand Alliance Lesson 3: Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, Cominform and Comecon Lesson 4: The first Berlin Crisis-Berlin Blockade and Berlin Airlift Lesson 5: The Nuclear Arms Race Lesson 6: The Hungarian Rising/ Revolution and Soviet invasion Exam questions included: Explain two consequences of the Yalta Conference (includes model answer) Write a narrative account analysing key events of the Berlin Crisis 1948 (8 marks) includes modelling End of topic key content quiz- 18 questions

Medicine Through Time Revision Quizzes- Thematic

(0)
These quizzes are for Edexcel but they will also work for AQA for the most part (minor tweaks only). They are thematic- 20 questions per theme with a separate 20 questions on the case studies. (Care and Treatment is huge so this has 22) The questions/ answers are also all in chronological order to help support the building of a narrative of change over time. They are based on the WASIIC factors we use to explain reasons for change/ continuity (War, Attitudes, Science and TEch, Institutions, Individuals and Chance). Box for self evaluation at the bottom. We use these to check how well students are revising- we set them themes to revise each week then quiz them in class in test conditions. They can be peer marked to save time and you still get the results to put in your mark book if you need.
