Editor's Notes
- The tips of a few icebergs anyway – but not everything, so no feedback, assessment practices, teaching essay structure – Sorry!
- Padlet ideas History is OUR story – it is our students’ story We can learn from the past is create solutions for the present and future It teaches us the dangers of an ‘Us vs Them’ attitude, a blind acceptance of fake news, of dehumanizing We promote rational debate, recognition of different perspectives, careful analysis of sources
- Note Luke Cashman address on facts earlier in the year
- QUIZLET – memory, spelling, images, diagrams – use as pretesting, watch them grow!
- Cleopatra example – she is closer to our time than the building of the Great Pyramid, yet it is easy to lump all of ancient Egyptian History into the ‘ages ago’ basket
