History - tasks for GCSE

Studying Anne Frank in Key Stage 4

Students who study history beyond Key Stage 3 have made a definite choice of the subject. Most GCSE courses (full and short courses) have options to study some aspect of the Second World War, such as Hitler's rise to power, the Holocaust or resistance to tyranny.

For example, candidates taking the AQA Syllabus A will have an opportunity to study the subject on Paper 2: Enquiry in Depth, where they choose one subject from four options, of which the last is Germany, 1919-1945.

The AQA Syllabus B has opportunities to study some aspects of the Second World War in every area of assessed work. Paper 1 is entitled Conflict in the Modern World and looks at conflict from International and UK perspectives. Paper 2 is entitled Depth Studies and includes the study of Germany 1918 to 1939. And finally Coursework and Paper 3 (British and/or World History) allows the study of such subjects as these. Within British history:

• Britain and the Second World War
• Britain in the 1930s (could include Fascism in the UK)
• The centre's own choice of topic or issue

And within world history:

• The Second World War
• Germany
• Anti-Semitism in the Twentieth Century
• The centre's own choice of topic or issue
