Product Description

A textbook for GCSE modern world history students. The core content of the major GCSE specifications in this subject is covered through explanation and carefully-selected course material. The most popular options or depth studies from each specification are covered in detail. There are questions, activities and focus tasks throughout to: deepen understanding of the content; develop evaluative and investigative skills; help students become more independent learners; and support examination preparation.;This second edition is fully revised to meet the requirements of the revised specifications - for example the inclusion of a British depth study 1906-1918 for the OCR Modern World History specification. It extends coverage of the core content for each exam group - for example the addition of a unit on the USA 1941-1980 for the Edexcel specification. It also incorporates developments in the study and teaching of history that have taken place since the publication of the first edition.

Customer Reviews

Guaranteed A* at GCSE!
I bought this book I had so many notes I just didn't know what to learn and did not have the time to go through all of them. I only revised for my GCSE from this book and scored a high A*. As long as you learn the condensed information this book gives you thoroughly, you cannot go wrong.

excellent
look at it this way, i had nothing to do on holiday so i read the whole book in a week and couldn't stop. i even read the bits i wasn't studying

thats how interesting and well laid out this book is

This book will give structure to your lessons.
A facinating , interesting well thought out book. It offers guidlines for lesson planning and class activities that are particularly helpful to newly qualified teachers. The worksheets are well thought out and can be used for students of all levels. I found this book easy and fun to use,I think my students would agree. History is a difficult topic for some students as it seems like so much information and no structure. This book helps to structure the learning process.
