• Most of the lessons use the Pearson Edexcel International GCSE (9-1) History Changes in Medicine, c. 1848 – 1948 book (ISBN 9780435185404).

• Each lesson begins with knowledge recall that is self-assessed.

• Relevant past exam questions are included, with mark schemes. Some questions have a choice of multiple different exam questions. For example, 4.3 WW1 eas examined in 2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022. All of these Qs have been included at the end of the ppt.

• There is also a Personalised Learning Checklist (PLC) that breaks the specification down into its constituent parts and tracks what exam questions have been asked for each topic. This reveals what topics seem to be asked multiple times and allows students to practise those questions.

• There is an A3 homework sheet to give out. The pupils will need access to YouTube. They watch a video about the topic and then write down a few bullet points. The idea is that they do this before they arrive to lesson, but it could be used as homework too.
