A Level Edexcel History Research Grids
Route E: Communist states in the twentieth century
A fantastic way to motivate students!Students read their notes to complete a grid of questions in exact specification order. Cross-referenced to ZigZag's Teaching Packs to ensure structured study.

A highly valuable resource
This organised and active learning method helps students identify the key points and build confidence.
Great for students who learn best by doing. Dramatically improves learning for students in need of additional support.
- Requires minimal teacher planning and input – ideal for cover lessons
- An easy-to-set, valuable homework option
- Pinpoints topic strengths and weaknesses for targeted support

What do teachers say about this resource? (5954)
I particularly like this resource because the answers are kept separate from questions. Also it's well spaced out so it wont feel overpowering to weaker students i.e. format is appropriate.
Very useful for revision/consolidation especially for students struggling with unit.
Will save a lot of time setting tests. Also useful for homeworks.
It matches the spec perfectly. I teach Edexcel and it follows the 4 key themes in order.
What do teachers say about this resource? (5955)
I liked it. It fulfilled its brief and the contents followed the spec precisely and thoroughly. As an aid to teachers, particularly for homeworks /tests/revision ,it should prove helpful. I particularly liked the useful headings/side-headings and cross referencing to lessons. It enhances learning by breaking up the course into manageable sections, thus giving the less able more confidence and a sense of progression. Educationally it would be valid/valuable as evidence of the amount of depth students need to consolidate. If they were given the answers after completing the tasks, it could also help those who are studying independently, or with a tutor. I like the visuals egp3. the spec is followed in body of the grids as well as the contents. [It covers the spec] very well -each sentence/phrase of the spec is covered. it delivers [the spec],which seems to fit its job description as a research grid
A very detailed and well researched resource. Great range of activities, and so helpful to have answers too. Good for teachers who are new to the topic and also for students requiring both in class and independent tasks to secure understanding, and check knowledge. Very comprehensive. Great layout, and breadth of activities.
Detail and variety of tasks are fantastic. Great to have answers too. Can be used for self-assessment and checking of knowledge as well as teacher led activities. Ensures knowledge is secure. Encourages active learning and retention of key information. Layout is very clear, and good for revision.
Very clear. Variety across the resource too. Good to see modelled examples.
Very thorough, and matches the specification well. Great to have as a resource for students, and encouraging active learning and thinking. Tasks are well-framed and develop well.
Could include some more sections that model sections of exam responses. This would extend learning even further.
An interesting idea.
It would certainly be easy to set as a flipped-learning exercise as students have very easy guidance in order to be able to make notes. This could potentially help some weaker students. I could see its potential more as a revision resource as students could fill it in and then mark it using the notes.
I think it could create greater independent learning by ensuring students read the text for themselves. I think it could also provide a scaffold of note-taking for the weaker students.
