    Global A Level Politics Lesson The Eu and Vaccine Nationalism

    This is the audio of a lesson I delivered to my students on the recent spat between the EU Commission and the UK and Astra Zeneca. It's an unedited lesson (sorry very unrefined) but I thought it would help with exampling the EU and Regionalism topic. I used a whiteboard in the lesson but I am sure you can follow it.

    How to revise A level Politics?

    A quick podcast I have put together to explain how to productively revise and recap work. Too many students believe revision is through endless note-taking and rewriting of notes or merely constructing plans. In my mind these techniques only have a marginal benefit.
