This is History! is the Schools History Project's radical new Key Stage 3 scheme of work for National Curriculum history. Through a combination of depth & development studies it offers:
- a varied relevant & challenging diet for the whole Key Stage 3 history programme of study
- a history-based approach to teaching citizenship
- practical classroom-trialled techniques for developing pupils' literacy
- a thinking skills approach to deepening & assessing historical understanding. A study of King John designed for Key Stage 3 history pupils. It seeks to combine literacy citizenship & an engaging Schools History Project approach to historical enquiry. Unit One explores King John's reputation as 'a bad king'. As pupils investigate how this interpretation was formed & perpetuated they should also develop the skill of writing a balanced & reasoned essay using the analogy of a Grand Prix race track. Unit Two is a shorter citizenship/political literacy-driven exploration of the dynamics of medieval monarchy. King John himself guides the students towards an understanding of how medieval politics was different from today & most importantly why that matters.
