An excellent resource which provides both teachers and students with a one-stop resource for the 2019 election! ... Its preamble setting out Theresa May's resignation, parliament being prorogued, and the new UK-EU deal was fantastic ... It provides them with a comprehensive, yet not overwhelming resource detailing the election. Students of varying abilities were able to access it with confidence ... It provides some excellent discussion points to stimulate class debate as you consider this election ... It is worth every penny. It means you won't need to look elsewhere for further information on the 2019 election

I think that this has been carefully written with the 2019 election campaign fresh in the mind of the writer. The key context and campaign points have been included and it is a very good overview of the 2019 election campaign. Very useful for students of A Level Politics. Good to have discussion points dotted around the resource to keep students' minds focused. Party Campaign Strategies section is very good and shows what each of the parties mentioned had in mind for this election campaign - very good comparative tool. Stays faithful to the model ZigZag has produced for previous General Election Case Studies which is clear and shows good progression through the campaign itself. I know that I will be using this as an example to show my students - they will be studying the 1979, 1997 and 2019 elections as part of their studies but I will be taking from this resource and showing them the key parts that they need to include in their case study work. This is also excellent for showing students which parts of the case study apply to certain areas of the specification. Whilst the voter behaviour and media topic is clearly the predominant one in this, elections are also included in this as well as implicit links to Political Parties and their success factors. Therefore, educationally this is an excellent resource and more than just a case study. For Edexcel, it is exactly what we need. The case study broadly lends itself to the specification and it can be specifically applied to different aspects of the course as mentioned in question 3. It therefore is perfect for what we need and I already have a number of different ideas in how to use this beyond a case study as such.

As the introduction cites this resource can be used in relation to the study of the elections of 1979 and 1997. Useful to link some of the sub titles such as the impact of the media to potential exam questions. Analysis to explain the reasons behind the results are very useful and important for the students to evaluate. Written in a coherent manner which is understandable to students without being patronising. Good analysis of the yougov. post election analysis.
[This resource enhances learning with a] direct link to the exam questions based on the analysis of three differing elections and questions to assess voting behaviour and the media. Use of key points is a useful tool for clarification and possible class discussion. Main value is the link to examinable materials both source and essay based. Presentation is clear and the written content is very coherent with a good balance of content and analysis. Very clear link to the 2017 specification which constantly needs updating...... the election was not expected until 2022 ! so a very welcome update as supercedes any text book material. In particular, as the teachers introduction states it gives leverage to compare with other elections. Very commendable. Very useful resource and benefits from its early "release" following the December election. I like the resource accessibility so students of differing abilities can gain from it.

I think that this is a very good, comprehensive resource pitched at the right level.
I think that it offers relevant analysis of the election data which is essential for study at this level.
The fact that this information and data is the most up to date will allow my pupils to construct relevant and detailed responses.
This resource is comprehensive in that it offers data and analysis. This will help guide some of my weaker pupils. It also offers sufficient challenge for my more able students.

An amazing resource which saved me hours of time when it came to teaching students about this seismic election at the heart of the course ... It's section on the campaigns that were run was superb.

I particularly liked the use of tables eg p10,11,14,15 and the inclusion of examination questions ... It would enhance learning by providing the all important up-to-date examples which both AQA and Edexcel expect.Its educational value is to give both teachers and students a relatively succinct summary of the election,both causes, events and consequences... It matches both specifications well and interprets the data at a suitable A level standard
