I make videos to help you with your history GCSE, whilst secretly aiming to turn you into a history nerd and increase your historical literacy whilst you're here. (Mwahahaha!)
I mostly cover the topics of Anglo-Saxon & Norman England, Crime & Punishment Through Time, Weimar & Nazi Germany, the Cold War and the American West for the 9-1 Edexcel GCSE spec (though non-GCSE students are welcome here too!). I also sometimes branch out beyond the curriculum into other history topics as part of my secret historical literacy mission!
About me: My name is Jasmine and I use she/her pronouns. I have first class BA in history from the University of Sheffield and am currently studying in Germany for an MA in Public History (contrary to popular belief I'm not a teacher!).
This channel is kept classroom friendly and video comments are heavily moderated.
Very interesting. The destruction of the historic architecture of cities like Exeter, Plymouth, Southampton, Norwich, Coventry and others was commenced by the Luftwaffe, then continued and finalised by our very own Town Planners, Architects, local Councillors etc in acts of barely believable vandalism, being replaced with cheap shoddy eyesores now crying out for destruction themselves…
I teach history in the US. It's been difficult for me to find a presentation that doesn't evolve into a rhetorically philosophical exercise on 'what is truth and how do we know it's true." Of course, I eventually make my case to my students, but I think the similes you use in presenting the information are spot on and will help me turn a boring two period philosophy lecture into a more seamless, exciting endeavor. I have to use them. Thank you!
Hyperinflation was good! Everyone has it wrong! During that time people were happy, everyone had work and all of that while the rest of the world was experiencing the worst crisis in history. This is the biggest history misconception of all time and it is screwing us all.
I'll still be using your videos for my other history exams, but i just wanted to say thank you for your content as it's really helped me out over the course of yr10 and yr11. Let's manifest another grade 9 for crime and punishment today!
i watched this video before one of my mocks and got12 out of 16 and i didn't get to do a conclusion so i hope i can do even better for my real exam in a few hours time
