Progress and attainment for all
* A complete course text with six of the most popular topics covered in depth (The Wars of Independence; Migration and Empire; The Making of Modern Britain; Germany; Russia and USA)
* 'Activities' will get students thinking about what they have learned and help them to develop the skills needed for the assessment
* 'Activities' are mapped and indexed by Outcome so you can see at a glance which criteria each activity fulfils


Active learning
* 'Make the link' features encourage broader thinking between and across subjects
* 'Hints' give helpful tips to support learning and highlight important information
* 'Historiography' will help students to analyse the importance of historical events


Assessment and practice you can rely on
* 'Exam style questions' for every section ensure that students will be fully prepared for the assessment
* 'Summary' sections and 'Learning checklists' enable students to monitor progress regularly


Course Notes give a practical, supportive approach to help deliver the new curriculum and offer a blend of sound teaching and learning with assessment guidance.
