Synopsis

This resource investigates the practice of teaching history and how children learn the subject. It provides a wide range of practical approaches and examples of real teaching experiences together with a variety of active and rewarding ways of bringing history to life. Each chapter begins with brief references to relevant learning theory or the work of a historian. This is followed by plans for sequences of lessons with examples of children's responses. Some chapters focus on the uses of a particular type of historical source, such as objects, sites or visual images. Other chapters explore a particular teaching approach applied to history such as storytelling, drama and simulations.
