History

Assessment

You will be taught by specialist teachers for each unit. Lessons will involve teacher presentations, class discussion, written tasks, evaluative tasks, use of media as well as group/paired work. You will use a range of primary and secondary sources to reach judgements. You will be assessed in class through regular timed essays and source/historian evaluations as well as through home-learning essays and practice exams. The final examination consists of two separate two-and-a-half hour exams, each containing four questions of which three must be answered. You will also be internally assessed through a non-examined assessment(NEA) of 4,500 words on a topic of your choosing relating to witch-hunting.
