NEW 2024 IGCSE HISTORY PAPER 1 QUESTION BANK (CIE, 0470)
TopHistorianTopHistorian

NEW 2024 IGCSE HISTORY PAPER 1 QUESTION BANK (CIE, 0470)

(0)
This resource consists of 65 PAPER 1 (A, B, C) STYLE QUESTIONS for the Cambridge History IGCSE Paper 1 core content for the 2024 June examination. The 65 questions are divided equally between the content of Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. Chapter 5 is naturally omitted as this content will be used for Paper 2 this year, and as such students will not be tested on this during Paper 1. All materials included in this bundle have been produced following the completion of the New 2024 IGCSE training course delivered by Cambridge International Examinations for the 2024 specification. This question bank is an excellent resource to use throughout the year for either Year 10 as you introduce those key Paper 1 exam skills or for Year 11 to revisit and revise both content and exam technique in advance of their summer exams! Some ways in which I have used them include: Using Question As as a snappy starter to get students to recap key content quickly. Using Question Bs as a consolidation task/ plenary after examining or revising the key content. These are especially great for reminding students how to explain effectively in the run up to an assessment/ mock/ exam. Using Question Cs for longer practice at extended analytical writing - either as a main task, a weekly homework or revision task for Year 11. If you’re short on time, they’re also great for drafting essay plans to get students used to carving out those 3-4 minutes in the real exam to organise their themes and main line of argument. Selecting a batch of 3 for a ready made assessment without the hassle of trawling through past exam papers! There’s enough here to see you through the two year course and more! This resource is best used in conjunction with the New IGCSE History Paper 1 Exam Technique Masterclass for 2024 (CIE 0470). This masterclass breaks down the Paper 1 markscheme into student friendly language that’s accessible to all, and offers step by step guidance on structure (with scaffolded writing support), content and how to hit the highest mark on every question! Bonus freebies include an **essay writing masterclass **and a model Qc answer, as well as more practice questions with mark schemes! Fancy some model answers to go with your question bank? I’ve compiled model answers for ABC question sets for KQ1, KQ2 and KQ3! (If you want a bargain, they’re even cheaper if you buy the bundle!) They make a great assessment resource by speeding up marking and double as ready made feedback lessons, saving you hours of planning!
