Firstly, take some time to review the main page of the GCSE section on firefly
kpssenior.fireflycloud.net/history/gcse
In addition, you can also visit the CIE iGCSE website for further information on the 2023 syllabus. Please note that you will be studying History 0977 (9-1):
- Option B: Twentieth Century International Relations since 1919
- Depth Study: Germany 1918-1945

Please note we will spend time going over the structure of the paper and the content so don't get overwhelmed.
Also, in preparation, please review the work we did on the First World War in year 9. This is a precursor to the first Key Question of the GCSE course, so it is helpful to revisit.
You can also do this by using the general information page on firefly
kpssenior.fireflycloud.net/history/year-9/1-the-first world-war-general-information
Finally, the reading and films list on firefly is a good place to start for getting to grips with the course. Make the most of this Summer to prepare yourselves!
