History
Revision material:
• Textbook as issued by the department. Any lost textbooks can be replaced at a cost of £1 for
photocopying. This is a book issued by the exam board and tailored to this exam.
• All units have or will be given coloured question and answer sheets for the students to test
themselves or their families to test them on the basic factual knowledge. Last year's students
said this was really helpful.
• Key word lists - again given to students by staff. Students write definitions and learn them 4.
date cards. Students will write key dates and events on cards and use them for learning.
• Timeline - students make a timeline and put it on the bedroom wall
• Feel free to buy the CGP revision guide but it really isn't necessary.
