GCSE History Challenge Cards

Differentiated lesson activities with clear cross-references to different boards. Each card deals with one aspect or key event from the period and is in two parts:

  • Focused written activities enable students to develop a knowledge base of the period using higher order thinking skills. Students acquire the knowledge while undertaking more challenging thinking activities about issues underpinning events.
  • Controversies, hypotheses and interpretations for students to think about and discuss. Deepen students’ understanding and provide greater complexity with a higher level of analysis.
