Seeing History

This work helps make history come alive for 11-14 year olds. It uses visual and memory techniques to make ideas stick. The author is a subject leader for History. Switch on to visual learning! This innovative book enables you to deliver the Key Stage 3 history curriculum through highly visual activities that will really engage your pupils - from the gifted and talented to those on the SEN register. All the activities are designed in a way that makes it easy for students to assess themselves against national criteria - helping to foster a positive and motivating environment for learning. Packed with photocopiable resources, which are also available in colour on the accompanying CD-ROM, the book includes: a guide to visual memory and visual learning; an easy-to-use outline of the links between units of study, the KS3 History National Curriculum and the visual learning activities; and, lively started and plenary activities with a summary chart of guidelines on their application to the National Curriculum, extra-curricular tie-ins, a guide to differentiation and multiple intelligence links, together with a rich selection of practical resources and ideas.
