"A World of Change" delivers the revised emphasis in the History Curriculum on an understanding of Britain's role in world history this century. Pupils will find the text easy to follow due to the familiar features remaining in place from the previous texts. Teachers can rely on the text responding to their needs as "Quest" users have advised on and contributed to the development of both teaching and pupil materials. "Quest" is the only history course to offer ready-made support for Key Stage 3 literacy initiatives, with all books and packs in the series having a strong literacy emphasis throughout. "Quest" enables pupils' to enjoy and succeed at history, and this remains the central objective of "A World of Change", as in all "Quest" materials.
This progressive approach to history continues with language level, terminology and historical skills all developed further from preceding "Quest" titles. The text is written to maintain interest, taking an entertaining and informative story-telling approach and concentrates on providing knowledge. Pupils' interest is engaged by the observer characters who continue to pose historical questions, now at a more advanced level than earlier "Quest" titles. Written to provide an easy and smooth transition from the World of Enlightenment, the text is suitable for all pupils in a mixed ability classroom, having been written and developed with History and English specialists.
"Quest" will progress all pupils up the ability scale by means of a progressive approach towards History.
