1. EDEXCEL HISTORY AS AND A LEVEL
We have created a ‘menu’ of monarchs, events and ideas for you to choose from.
You need to select something from each part of the menu, conduct research and bring in a summary of your research at the start of term- based around the questions below
e.g. you might select ‘Charles I’ for your starter, ‘Personal Rule’ as your main course and ‘the ideas of Locke’ as your dessert.
