Description
Part of the "Questioning History" series, which comprises evidence-based books for students from lower secondary level up to GCSE. It is accessible to all abilities, provides a motivating selection of sources and builds familiarity with historical skills and concepts through a variety of spoken and written responses. These include oral work, group works and games. The book encourages a questioning approach and an empathy with people from a different culture and period. It hopes to assist the teacher in developing the pupils' experience of applying skills rather than accumulating knowledge, understanding change and continuity and appreciating similarity and difference.
