I am teaching OCR.

Anyone else teach the AS document paper on Nazi Germany or Liberals and Labour 1899-1918? For A2 I teach Civil Rights in America 1865-1980.

Interested in swapping resources and advice as I'm new to teaching A'level this year.

Very interested to see so many teaching Edexcel as am hoping to change to this (just started at a new school)

Interested in doing
Unit 1 : Poverty/Poor Law
Unit 2 : Railways
Unit 3 : Parliamentary Reform
(Builds nicely from GCSE)

Unit 4: ????
Unit 5 ?????
Unit 6 Nazi Germany

Does anyone do similar???
Also, any suggestions/ideas from experience about coursework/personal study OR exam for units 4/5. Easier for students? Why have so many of you gone for exam only route?

[MrsB]

I do parliamentary reform for unit 3 and 5.

I have done unit 5 as courseowrk and found the grades never came out that high as the boundaries are so high for the coursework

Sorry can't remeber all module numbers -I would be interested to hear from anyone who does the 'open book' examination instead of Personal Study.

[Carole Faithorn]

Just a quick post to bump this thread up and remind members of its existence.

Do add (or modify) what you teach at AS and A2. It helps a lot to find others doing the same/similar courses.

Hi Guys

We teach AQA Options Q for British and D for European

AS

A2
Britain 1841 - 1885
France 1814 - 1914

The one thing AQA does seem to do well these days is A Levels.

I'll happily trade resources, schemes of work with anyone who is doing the same or even thinking of changing.

I've just attached my latest British AS & A2 Schemes of work if anyone would like a copy. I've also included an old but still very good Italian Unification Scheme of work. Our AS & A2 European Schemes are currently under review.  AS_Britsh_1815___1841.doc   466.5K   1523 downloads  AS_Britsh_Foreign_Policy_1815___1830.doc   258.5K   1837 downloads  A2_Britsh_1843___1885.doc   388.5K   2560 downloadsachment]  Italian_Unification.doc   70.5K   1850 downloads
