A new concept in student texts

This exciting handbook:

• helps students develop their historical skills and understanding
• enables students to link the key elements and skills of the National Curriculum to the main periods and topics encountered at school
• explains the structure and purpose of history taught in today's schools at KS3 and GCSE for students, parents and new teachers.

The handbook is divided into six chapters. These each address a specific skill or group of skills and aid understanding of historical topics and periods by:

• explaining relevant concepts and terminology
• helping students plan answers using appropriate historical skills
• providing model responses at different National Curriculum levels
• guiding students through a period/topic overview and timeline
• enabling students to test their skills on further evidence-based problems.

Being produced specifically for student use and for distribution through schools means that there are large discounts available for class sets as well as free copies on larger orders. The handbooks can be sold on to students at a cost well below the cover price. Schools can provide their students with high-quality, course-related material at a much lower cost than a standard textbook.

Note that this product is also available as part of the KS3 History Network Resources.
