Updated for the revised specification for teaching start 2013, first exam Summer 2015. Help your students learn more effectively with SHP's active learning approach to GCSE History. SHP Smarter History is a comprehensive series of books covering all the Schools History Project GCSE specifications. They combine: - complete coverage of the specification content - step-by-step coaching in exam skills all tackled through SHP's active learning, enquiry-based approach, which makes lesson planning easy, and helps ensure varied pace throughout the course -- essential to keep your students motivated over a long period. These books put the fun back into teaching and learning at GCSE but without any compromise -- they still help students achieve the highest grades. At every relevant stage through the book the 'Exam Buster' features help blend exam preparation with historical learning so that by the end of the course students understand not only the period and its issues but also how they will be expected to think and write about this for the examination. This is the best of both worlds from the experts who know what good teaching is about and also know what the SHP specifications are all about.

Book Overview: Help your students learn more effectively with SHP's active learning approach to GCSE History.
As the co-author of Heinemann's OCR GCSE Medicine text book, I would like to send my congratulations to the authors of the Hodder publication. Activities are engaging and accessible and the book is very pleasing visually. It is heartening to see a number of newer sources and the approach to exam preparation through 'Exam Busters'. I believe both books need to be used by schools if they want complete coverage of all units in the specification.
This book will be a welcome addition to the stock of history departments across Britain.
* Bill Marriott, a senior examiner with a major awarding body *I absolutely love this book. I was fortunate to receive a copy as soon as it was published and I am really glad I did. The graphics are great and engaging, the lay out is clear and logical. The exam technique advice is very student friendly and the way in which the activities reflect 'active learning' principles is faultless.
I have used many SHP resources in the past but this is the best yet. Check it out!!!
