AQA GCSE History Assessment - Germany 1890-1945

AQA GCSE History Assessment - Germany 1890-1945

(0)
This is an assessment book for students studying AQA History: Germany 1890-1945. For each of the 6 Question types there are exemplar answers with commentary (from AQA), tips on how to structure the response, and 2x practice questions for each question type, with the mark scheme below each question (making marking easy as the teacher can highlight/underline the appropriate comments) and then space for additional teacher comments. I have found these booklets so helpful as all of their practice questions are in one place, so it’s easy for students to see my comments on their first attempt of this question to then take this feedback on board when writing this again. All of the appropriate sources are in the booklet, so this is ready to be printed and used.

(0)
Bookmarks listing the key dates/events for 2 topics on GCSE History AQA Paper 1 (Conflict and Tension 1918 - 1939 and Germany 1890 - 1945). I get these laminated and students use these throughout the course both in class and at home. These can easily be adapted for any topics, and can be used in a variety of ways, and parents have commented on how they like to use them with students so that they can support them in their revision/studies.

AQA GCSE History Assessment - Nazi Germany An assessment booklet that can be printed into a folded booklet. You must have a copy of the red AQA GCSE textbook as it refers to questions in that textbook. There is space for students to write answers, for teacher feedback, and also instructions on how to structure each answer. For each question, there is also a sample answer from AQA for students to see, and there is a knowledge checklist at the front for the whole course. This has worked really well, especially for a class who need more ‘structure’. For marking, it’s much easier for me to take in than the exercise books too. I have now made them for each of the units that I teach. FYI: There are 2 documents - this is for page numbers purposes (I didn’t want page 1 to be the front cover!)

AQA (9-1) GCSE History - Health and the People - Mock Exam and Mark Scheme

(0)
A mock exam for AQA GCSE History Health and the People. Made from questions given by AQA and in the textbook. There is a double sided sheet for students, and the layout is in the same layout as the exam paper. After the exam, there is space for students to reflect on their performance before it is marked. I've also included a mark scheme. I have given this to my students after Lesson 20. I will then give them feedback which should help them for a final End of Unit Mock Exam at the end of the course.
