Why do people migrate? Who were the first travellers in history?
And where will we humans travel to next? Since the dawn of time,
people have travelled to distant lands for many different reasons;
to escape war, famine or injustice, to find work, or to simply see
new sights and have an adventure. But everyone who migrates does it
to seek a brighter future. A World Full of Journeys is an
illustrated book which tells some of the most fascinating stories
of migration throughout history. From the very first humans who
left Africa almost 70,000 years ago and moved around the world, to
immigrants welcomed to America at Ellis Island, this book is packed
with fascinating tales of human triumph. Beautifully illustrated
with bright pictures to engage younger readers and maps detailing
these migrants' journeys bring these stories to life. From Viking
sea traders and Roman armies marching through Europe to Huegenot
refugees fleeing persecution from the Catholic church and migrants
travelling from the Caribbean to Britain as part of the Windrush
Generation, this book explores the fascinating stories of the
people who have crossed the world. With chapters including Africa,
Oceania, Europe and the Americas, this book looks all across the
world to tell the full story of our journeys throughout history.
You'll discover that every single journey has the capacity to
change the world. The World Full of... series is a collection of
beautiful hardback story treasuries. Discover folktales from all
around the world or be introduced to some of the world's best-loved
writers with these stunning gift books, the perfection addition to
any child's library. Also available from the series: A Year Full of
Stories, A World Full of Animal Stories, A Stage Full of
Shakespeare Stories, A World Full of Dickens Stories, A World Full
of Spooky Stories, A Year Full of Celebrations and Festivals, A
Bedtime Full of Stories and A World Full of Nature Stories.
We've worked with teachers to develop versions of our core
textbooks that feature reduced content and language level,
providing greater support and enabling students of all abilities to
progress. Now available for the seven most popular options, these
foundation versions help make the GCSE content more accessible and
are designed to be easy-to-use alongside the core textbooks in a
mixed ability classroom and are also ideal for home learning. How
have we made them more accessible? We've reduced the level of the
language to remove difficult words or phrases when possible. All
the titles have been reviewed for reading age by a language expert.
Easy-to-use alongside the core GCSE textbooks with content covered
on each spread matched so you can use both versions together in a
mixed ability classroom. More of the difficult words that students
need to know are explained in key terms boxes, with definitions
repeated through the books to reinforce learning. We've made our
explanations more accessible for students targeting a grade 5 or
below. Where possible, we've replaced paragraphs of text with
easy-to-understand flow diagrams, mind maps or charts so there is
significantly less text on the pages for students to tackle. The
level of demand in the activities has been reduced and some of the
harder ones removed. Exam tips have been re-focused to offer advice
so that students of all abilities can secure as many marks as
possible. The 'Preparing for your exam' chapters have been
thoroughly rewritten with answers and commentary for students
working towards a grade 5. New artworks have been added to make
explanations more visual.

(written and visual) which support and enhance understanding. The

This CAPS study guide highlights how political and economic
forces have influenced the course of history. It uses the Cold
War and its aftermath as the thread that links up all six of the
matric topics. Nevertheless, it is careful to show a range of
perspectives, and to show how the same events can be seen through
different lenses. For each of the six topics, this study guide
offers: useful definitions, comprehensive notes with revealing
quotations, illustrations of people, places and events, diagrams,
tables and maps that make relationships and comparisons explicit,
visual summaries for the easy recall of key points, source-based
questions and answers, and essay questions, with notes on how to
respond, as well as example essays. The book also includes useful
exam guidance and a practice exam, with answers and example essays.
However, it is important to note that the essays in this book are
not ‘model essays’ to be learnt. They are included
to demystify what is required to achieve a high mark. We
hope that after reading them learners will understand the
requirements of the essay genre, and be better equipped to express
their own opinions within an essay format. All the pictures in the
book are available as part of our PowerPoint presentations,
which can be downloaded for free from our website
(www.theanswer.co.za). Teachers who order books for their class can
also request these PowerPoint presentations to be sent to them on a
CD. Note to IEB learners: While all the practice questions in
this book come from DBE (National) exams, the comprehensive notes
will still benefit learners who are preparing for the IEB exam.
