History<br />
History is about people. We study people as different as the Tsar of<br />
all the Russias and a Lancashire weaver.<br />
What made these people tick? What kind of world did they live in?<br />
Why did they declare war? Assassinate people? Try to change the<br />
law?<br />
Entry Requirements<br />
You need good reading and<br />
writing skills.<br />
Specification<br />
OCR - History<br />
AS 3 Units<br />
A2 3 Units<br />
In class you will be able to read, analyse, interpret, argue, discuss<br />
and think! You will learn to express yourself logically. An ideal<br />
subject for entry into all arts, legal and commercial subjects.<br />
If you are interested in the modern world and the factors that have<br />
made it what it is, this is the subject for you. History enables you<br />
to develop the critical skills to analyse events and develop a greater<br />
understanding of the past and present.<br />
In addition to normal classes, students will have the opportunity to<br />
attend external lectures and visit museums and records offices.<br />
