Description
Summary:Enlivening Secondary History is the ideal handbook for busy history teachers who want to do something different in their classrooms but have little time to plan and organise their lessons. With 40 activities based on four themes (Visual, Numerical Data, Abstract Ideas and Primary Texts), this book offers tried-and-tested practical ideas complete with relevant exemplars and step-by-step advice. Each activity includes links to key topics at Key Stages 3 and 4 and at A/AS Level, including the Crusades, the Reformation and the First and Second World Wars, Revolutionary Russia, and many more. All the ideas are explained in a clear, user-friendly style, with a breakdown of the time and resources needed for each one. Enlivening Secondary History is written by practitioners for practitioners, and allows teachers to bring history alive in an imaginative and innovative way. It will be a useful guide for both experienced and student teachers. - Back cover.
