How the chapters are organized

The start of a chapter

• You will always work based on your workbook. Your workbook tells you what you have to do.

• The first four pages of each chapter tell you what the chapter is about.

• You will find a brief explanation and list of the significant developments in the period of history described in the chapter.

• You will also read why this period is so important.

• You will then find the main question and a number of subquestions. There is usually one subquestion per section.

Each chapter has six sections Coursebook

• Each section starts with the subquestion for that section.

• A section consists of texts and sources. A source can be a picture (image source) or a text (text source).

• The boxes provide information on how states are organized.

• Some sections have a skills block. These blocks explain the history skills you need to learn. You will complete assignments to help you learn these skills. The assignment will say: Practise your knowledge...

• Two sections give you the opportunity for further study.

Workbook

• Each section starts with an assignment in which you will see what you already know about the topic.

• You will summarize what you have learned in the final assignment in each section.

• The end of each sectio n lists what you will need to know for a test: the tips for the test.

• The last block of each section tells you about the section’s assignments (knowledge, comprehension and application).

• Sometimes you will see this symbol in an assignment. This means you will have to use Phoenix online for this assignment.

• this symbol means that you can work on this assignment together with others.

Round-up Coursebook

• The sixth section in a chapter is called the Round-up. This section summarizes what you have learned. It tells you: the significant developments of the period, what you have learned so far and what you are now able to do.

• The period’s most important events and people are shown here in the timeline.

• The chapter’s terms are also grouped together in the Round-up.

Workbook
