March: Resources in Spanish/Recursos en español
Welcome to everyone new to this site.
Every month we use this blog to announce new developments and to inform you of resources that we have uploaded in the past month. We also use the blog to highlight other resources/articles that we think you might find useful and interesting. This month's focus is on our new Spanish resources' section.
Site update
We hope that you are all keeping well and coping with the demands of staying at home and distance learning with your students.
We are excited to announce that we have now added a new section to Inthinking History: Spanish translations of the most popular topics for Papers 1, 2 and 3.
We have already made a good start on this new section and we will add more pages over the coming days and weeks including Prescribed Subject 4 for Paper 1.
Recursos en español
En esta sección estamos cargando traducciones al español de nuestros temas clave.
Other recent additions to the site include a new sample Extended Essay.
In the next couple of months we plan to add more marked exemplars of EEs and IAs as well as another set of full document papers for PS4 which we hope will be very useful for distance learning with first year students and for those of you taking the exam in November.
Watch this space!
