Paper 1: The Age of the Crusades 1071-1204 This side of the course gives students an overview of the rise and fall of the Latin East. The big questions surrounding this period of History are addressed, for example: how important was religion as opposed to politics in the calling of the Crusade? Why was there such a popular response to crusading? What was the lasting impact of the Latin East on the Near East? Paper 2: The Making of Modern Britain This side of the course will allow students to study a short but significant period, providing an in-depth historical awareness of Britain shortly after the Second World War up to 2007. This unit explores the key political, economic and social changes which helped mould Britain in the second half of the Twentieth Century and will help you to understand our country at present. Throughout this unit, we will cover concepts such as the change in government and the opposition, class and social division and cultural changes, including the benefits these changes brought, as well as the tensions they caused. NEA: The A Level NEA will be an investigation of a historical issue over 80-120 years. This title is chosen by students based on the study of Twentieth Century Russia 1905-2005. All students will be expected to show the use of historical sources and reach a reasoned conclusion on their chosen question.
