Parent teaching plan · 36 weeks

Units to teach or revisit

Chapter 6 · Connections Across Africa, Asia & Europe

Assigned readings

Finish the year with evidence of learning, including revision and remaining questions.

This week’s goals

Final exam selections are supplied in the paper. Revisit the completed books/source readers and select evidence for the year-end conference.

Five 60-minute blocks. Reserve the full 120 minutes for the final paper before marking. Use remaining blocks for diagnostic feedback, corrections and portfolio review.

Session 1 · Final exam — block 1

Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.

Your task

Block 1: Read the selections and begin the paper. Use the same final paper within its full stated 120-minute allowance across 2 blocks. Start with the key closed and finish before any marking. Record actual time used; do not restart the allowance in each block.

  1. Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
  2. Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.
  3. Complete the task independently before opening the response guidance.
  4. Explain the relationship, compare the model and record a specific revision or unresolved question.
Hint and response guidance

Begin with the actual source detail or sentence; keep the claim within what it establishes.

The final has 120 minutes of paper time across the stated blocks. Human marking follows the per-question criteria. A portfolio judgment should compare real early and late work, identify support supplied and retain unfinished skills rather than infer mastery from a total alone.

  • Answer the specific question accurately.
  • Use a relevant detail and explain why it matters.
  • Apply the unit’s defined terms or method correctly.
  • Recognize a meaningful limitation or alternative.

Session 2 · Final exam — block 2

Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.

Your task

Block 2: Continue developed responses and check source references. Use the same final paper within its full stated 120-minute allowance across 2 blocks. Start with the key closed and finish before any marking. Record actual time used; do not restart the allowance in each block.

  1. Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
  2. Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.

Session 3 · Mark, diagnose and correct

Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.

Your task

Use the separate final key, mark written criteria and explain two errors. Complete a changed-case correction from a weaker unit. Keep the original answers.

  1. Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
  2. Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.
  3. Complete the task independently before opening the response guidance.
  4. Explain the relationship, compare the model and record a specific revision or unresolved question.

Session 4 · Transfer after correction

Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.

Your task

Complete a new source or sentence task for a weaker skill. Explain how its reasoning differs from the corrected exam example.

  1. Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
  2. Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.
  3. Complete the task independently before opening the response guidance.
  4. Explain the relationship, compare the model and record a specific revision or unresolved question.

Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.

Your task

Compare early and late responses, a reading log and a revised workshop. Explain growth with actual evidence and name a next reading or skill target.
