This is an exciting and relevant History course that gives students the chance to explore topics and key themes that span the 17th, 19th and 20th centuries, and provides an excellent bridge between GCSE and university. The theme of revolution in Europe runs through two of the modules, with the challenges of the Civil War, Restoration and Glorious Revolution in Britain and the Revolution in Russia. Alongside this course, students study a wide-ranging look at Civil Rights and race relations in the USA from the end of the Civil War up to the election of Obama. We are very supportive in encouraging all our students to achieve their best work. There is a strong focus on essay writing and document analysis and we place a high emphasis on class discussion and wider reading. Coursework in particular will help develop students’ research and independent study skills. • Unit 1: Britain, 1625-1701: Conflict, Resolution and Settlement. • Unit 2: Russia in Revolution, 1894-1924. • Unit 3: Civil rights and race relations in the USA, 1850-2009. • Unit 4: Coursework on interpretations of the Civil Rights movement.
