This grid reflects how we teach IB History at the International School of Toulouse.
We teach Higher Level and Standard Level candidates in one class, over two years. So we choose topics which overlap Paper 1&2 as far as possible.
The topics highlighted in blue link to worksheets, simulations and resources. Over the next 12 months I will add resources for all the topics listed here.
If you have any questions / suggestions, or have an alternative model you would like to share, please contact me using the feedback form.
