Each topic provides the best revision-based activities and weblinks, interactive diagrams ideal for revision together with relevant interactive games and quizzes.

Developed using the expert submissions of other teachers, this new revision area now covers World War I (1914-18), Weimar and Nazi Germany (1918-45), Russia/USSR (1917-53), USA: Depression and the New Deal (1929-41), International Relations (1919-39), Impact of War (1914-1945), Superpower Relations (1945-89), USA: Divided Union (1941-80), Medicine and Public Health through Time, The American West, Crime and Punishment through Time and Agriculture. Links to the best teacher created websites for revision have also obviously been included.
GCSE History: This site is designed specifically for students of Schools History Project GCSE. It offers extensive revision activities for the history of medicine and Germany 1919-45 and links also out to the very best external links for these topics in an integrated way. Revision tips, source evaluation tips and revision activities for printing and use offline are also features of the site. There is an exam practice section where students can download practice papers and sample mark schemes for use in self assessment and marking offline. A recent feature has been the development of a Key Stage 3 area which although in its infancy offers some useful revision lesson activities for Key Stage 3 students.
SHP History Revision: This website offers a wide range of revision activities for students following the Schools History Project course. Students can refresh their knowledge of Medicine through time and Weimar and Nazi Germany through reading student friendly text, trying their luck in the quizzes section or through attempting more detailed lessons. Revision notes covering the key aspects of the syllabus are also available for downloading. The website also includes a Revision Guide. All major subject areas are catered for in this easy to use directory of revision materials. Tips can be obtained on how to cope with the stress of the exams period and writing techniques for last minute coursework along with a range of links to handy revision exercises.
Learn History Revision Section: This site has a rapidly expanding section for students of the American West study of the Schools History Project at GCSE. Available are revision notes on some of the key topics such as the Mormons, Gold miners and homesteaders. Now complete is the USA Divided Union 1941-80 section for the Modern World History syllabus. Students can revise the key points, listen to a speech by Martin Luther King and visit some chosen sites for further study. The Vietnam War key points section is also attracting interest and will be expanded upon in due course. Finally, the new Crime and Punishment section is being developed for the much-overlooked study in development for SHP. The site is also useful for students and teachers following the exciting new Edexcel coursework studies of Jack the Ripper and Football.
Weatherhead: As the GCSEs get closer it is important for History students to begin their revision. Nicky Boughey has developed a Revision Notes section of her website to specifically target the revision of GCSE Economic and Social History. It is tailormade to the Weatherhead High School Media Arts College History Syllabus but would be extremely useful to any pupils studying the agricultural revolution, transport and communications, Chartism and the Home Front. Each of these topics has a comprehensive set of revision notes and leading up to the actual examinations there will be practice papers available online for them to print off and have a go at.
Greenfield History Site: Modern World History GCSE revision site with information pages on GCSE topics, collapsible revision sheets, exemplar essays and revision advice.

Passmores History Revision: This website is designed for students studying the Medicine Through Time section of the Schools History Project GCSE. It offers extensive revision activities for the history of medicine. Stephen Drew has created a series of questions to help the students revise. Instead of just finding out about the people and events of each time period, the students are encouraged to answer the questions by making notes, diagrams or tables. The information is organised under the following headings: Prehistoric, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Dark Ages, Renaissance, 19th Century and 20th Century.
International GCSE History Revision: Produced at the International School of Toulouse for students of the Cambridge IGCSE history examination, this site is a hypertext curriculum structured around each of the key questions and focus points of the 20th century core component and the popular Germany 1918-1945 option. 80% of the site is student produced and includes student websites, essays and plans, revision diagrams, videos and notes.
