Trade Review
The Connecting History books for Higher are nicely organised around the five factors outlined by SQA for each essay, which helps with the organisation of notes and chronology.
Students have enjoyed using the books because of the level of detailed examples and the way that each factor is organised into argument and counter argument, which helps with essay planning.
Even after teaching this course for 21 years, I'm finding some new bits and pieces of knowledge to help to refresh my own learning!
