The end of apartheid
Jan 6th
Tonight hundreds of people took part in a torchlit procession through Bristol to mark the release of the worlds most famous prisoner. (BBC television news, February 1990)
I have collected together a range of sources looking at the end of apartheid in South Africa. The aim is to help GCSE students (14-16 years old) to think about the relative importance of the different people, groups, and factors which played a part in the end of white minority rule. I’m still looking for some more sources, for example the Lusaka Manifesto, but the sources gathered so far can be seen on the ‘apartheid’ pages.
Britain 1900-1918
Dec 20th
I have gathered together a series of links to BBC resources to help students to revise for the OCR Paper 2 exam in the summer. These include short video clips from the excellent BBC learning zone archive, as well as links to BBC Bitesize notes. They can be found here.
The site itself is starting to come together again. One issue I have found is with font size. However, if you take your mouse to the top right of the window it gives the option to increase or decrease this. I think the next big project will be on Mandela and apartheid – after all, it is our new controlled assessment!

The GCSE revision pages are now back online, as are the Elizabethan history videos. More resources should reappear over the next week.
