Out of stock
Malcolm Chandler was Chief Examiner for GCSE History for twenty years and has been leading courses for teachers and students since 1998, throughout England and Wales, but also in Europe and Dubai. He aims to simplify the demands of GCSE History for both teachers and students by avoiding ‘jargon’ and using straightforward terminology. He believes that the best way of teaching history and improving results is to set clear, manageable targets for students and to enable them to feel ‘part of the process’. Many schools that have adopted the approaches and techniques that he recommends have seen significant improvements in examination grades in relatively short spaces of time.
Students will be taken through a sample paper with explanation of how to achieve grades 4-9. There will be particular focus on the interpretation question, the ‘how far’ question and the 20-mark final question.
There will be opportunities for students to ask questions and seek advice. Answers at different levels will be reviewed and key features explained.
Throughout the session, students will be provided with tips to impress the examiner, both in terms of content and question technique.
