Description
Help your students learn more effectively with SHP's active learning approach to GCSE History. SHP Smarter History is a comprehensive series of books covering all the Schools History Project GCSE specifications. They combine: - complete coverage of the specification content - step-by-step coaching in exam skills all tackled through SHP's active learning, enquiry-based approach, which makes lesson planning easy, and helps ensure varied pace throughout the course - essential to keep your students motivated over a long period. These books put the fun back into teaching and learning at GCSE but without any compromise - they still help students achieve the highest grades. At every relevant stage through the book the 'Exam Buster' features help blend exam preparation with historical learning so that by the end of the course students understand not only the period and its issues but also how they will be expected to think and write about this for the examination. This is the best of both worlds from the experts who know what good teaching is about and also know what the SHP specifications are all about.

Reviews / Votes
The text is clear and broken up with colourful images/boxes/pictures. All this offers a lively presentation of ideas which should hold the interest of students. The use of graphic cartoons and dramatic episodes will serve to grab attention. As noted before, there is great strength in the active learning promoted. The process of answering exam questions is clearly demonstrated and students are directly involved in completing charts, etc. The practical suggestions in the 'how to' sections are particularly good. All can use the inner and outer boxes to use sources. This is also a clear way of showing the levels of thinking/answers as well. Other good ideas are the clear stages to be followed in preparing an answer and the warnings given. This book clearly promotes good practice. This is an excellent book for exam preparation for Unit 3A (and indeed for any of the source based enquiries). Edexcel's Quality Assurance review of this titleMore details
