OCR B Unit A971: Germany 1918-1945: Sources for Success Pack

Sources for Success

Special Resource Packs for GCSE OCR B

Develop students’ source-based skills for exam success with this all-in-one resource. Organised into three key sections:

  1. An Introduction to Sources: Everything students need to know about approaching sources for GCSE History, with annotated examples. The OCR core skills of ‘using contextual knowledge’, ‘inferring’, ‘usefulness & reliability’ & ‘comparison’ are clearly explained. Importantly these skills are demonstrated though sample exam questions, sample answers and examiner’s commentary.
  2. The Sources: Over 35 interesting and varied sources. Each source has been intelligently selected to i) match OCR’s exam style, and ii) allow good questions that are OCR exam typical.
  3. Activities and Exam-style Questions: Activities develop the specific skills explained in the introduction. Exam-style questions prepare students for exam success. Mark schemes included.
