A Level History at High Storrs Objectives: 1.To give you a taste of the topics you would study in A Level Modern or Early Modern History 1.To show you the structure of the course and how it is assessed 2.To answer any questions you might have

Modern History A Level Breadth Study 1H Tsarist and Communist Russia, 1855–1964 Depth Study 2S The Making of Modern Britain, 1951–2007 Coursework Slavery in America c c.1865

Early Modern A Level Breadth Study 1B Spain in the Age of Discovery, 1469–1598 Depth Study 2B The Wars of the Roses, 1450–1499 Coursework Tudors and Stuarts c c.1649

How will I be assessed? A Level is a two-year linear course. Students will be assessed at the end of Y13. Breadth Study - 40% of overall mark (2 hour 30 minute exam) Depth Study - 40% of overall mark (2 hour 30 minute exam) Coursework – 20% of overall mark (3000 word essay)

What about AS Level? It will be possible to take a standalone AS module at the end of Y12 if a student is not going to take History into Y13. The exam at AS will test the first half of both breadth study and depth study course. There will not be a coursework requirement. The skills required for AS are linked to full A level skills. These courses are therefore co-teachable.
