Planning Primary History

This work provides teachers with a range of practical strategies for implementing the requirements of the revised order for National Curriculum History in Key Stages 1 and 2. The material is intended for the use of teachers in primary schools in England and Wales. The book is a comprehensive guide to the revised History curriculum which is to be introduced in schools in September, 1995. It constitutes important reading for all KS1 and KS2 Geography co-ordinators. The book also provides practical help with all the most important issues in planning, teaching, monitoring and assessing Primary History. It is illustrated throughout with examples of puils' work. It puts a particular emphasis on learning from the successes and failures of the first few years of National Curriculum History and aims to help overcome some of the key areas of difficulty experienced in Primary History to date. The book illustrates how the new statutory requirements can be taught so as to provide a worthwhile and coherent Geography entitlement for each pupil.
