Superb resource - full of a variety of activities to suit all types of learners ... It provided activities to cover all the subject content for nationalism. The activities are ready made to go with the answer given for easy marking ... It really helps them consolidate what they have read and learn. It also gets them to think analytically about the political ideas ... The answers are provided so marking is very quick. It also look professionally made and designed ... It will truly help your students to consolidate their learning ... It fits in perfectly with the AQA specification subject content for nationalism
a good variety of activities from revision to essay practice to filling boxes, p10, 13, 18 / writing a manifesto, p17 / game, p21 / matching, p22 / grid fill... it would keep students interested/motivated because of the contrasting tasks. Its educational value would partly be to improve research skills eg p4, 6 and the extension work would be valuable for those aiming for the highest grades ... It matches the specification well - eg the 5 thinkers - and interprets it neutrally rather than being unacceptably biased, always a potential pitfall with such a topic.

A top-notch resource that gets your pupils thinking through how to apply what they have read and learnt on socialism ... The quote bank task has really helped students to memorise/learn quotes which they can use in exam essay questions for crucial AO1 marks ... It carefully takes them through the different core idea areas that they need to understand on socialism ... The activities genuinely get the pupils to engage with the subject material and consider how they can analyse it and evaluate it. Thus, it's fab for exam skills! ... It's a resource which will save you a lot of time and will truly bring on your students' learning ... It covers all the subject content given in the spec for socialism. I am totally satisfied

A cracking set of activities that greatly aided my teaching and the learning of my students ... It had some really creative tasks like the manifesto one ... It has excellent activities where it gets the students to think through the key debates such as classical vs modern liberalism and liberalism vs democracy ... It has a great summary activity at the end where students fill in a grid ... It's worth every penny - it will save you a lot of time in planning and it will engage your students
Very detailed coverage of the course with a range of differing activities for students to undertake. Links to the specification which are clearly designed for individual, paired and group work- activities. Particularly good on the key liberal thinkers... Overall, very impressive as this is very difficult for many students-and-teachers- to access and make sense of! Much needed assistance.

I particularly liked the revision tasks being interspersed and the variety of activities eg table-activity 9essay q,p16,quizzes,grid fill and matching,p11.Also having answers separate was well advised ... [It provides] relevant work for cover lessons, rather than just filling in time... activity 1 gives a much needed sense of chronology and the extensions should be educationally beneficent to the more able... It matches the specification thoroughly and does not omit any major content. It interprets it neutrally, which is what is required in such a potentially controversial topic... The Plan with timings was a good innovation compared to previous activity packs I’ve seen
