This FREE introductory A-level History lesson is designed for the Edexcel A-level American Dream unit and focuses on building essential literacy and exam skills from the very start of the course.The lesson explicitly teaches students the difference between descriptive and analytical writing, a key requirement for success in Edexcel A-level History exams.

The lesson is fully self-contained and requires no textbook, making it ideal for the first lesson of the course or a transition session.

How I use this resource:
I use this lesson at the start of the American Dream course to set expectations for written work and establish what high-level analytical writing looks like at A-level.
