Books with author KR Hinton

Consisting of a pupils' book and a teachers' resource book this text takes a new approach to teaching source-related skills in secondary school history and applies to GCSE and S Grade History candidates. It provides a wide range of historical material to assist pupils in learning the essential criteria to assess sources for themselves. Five self-contained units discuss the importance of sources in providing evidence for historians, and the problems which they may pose. Early units introduce the basic skills, including terminology and definitions, required for source handling; later units include innovative exercises which develop increasingly sophisticated ways of analyzing and evaluating evidence. The book can be used as comprehensive preparation for Schools History Project Paper 2. Any individual unit can be slotted into existing courses to focus upon a particular skill - eg testing the reliability of a source - for coursework or exam preparation. Each unit includes assessment exercises based on core content for both Modern World History and British Social and Economic History. The Teacher's Book includes mark schemes and copyright-waived worksheets.
