Each enquiry provides access and challenge to all students across the ability range.
The lessons encourage your classes to see the unfolding narrative of different events. They also encourage your students to think historically by building on best practice in the teaching of a number of the second order concepts. The focus is particularly on consequence, significance and analytical narrative.
The intention is to make history meaningful by focusing enquiries around personal stories, particular places or puzzles and problems to be solved. Early in the course the focus is on music – How much can the song, Stalin wasn’t stalling reveal to us about who really won WW2? and Was OMD’s 1980 hit Enola Gay right about the dropping of the A bomb?
Once the engaging start has hooked students in, the carefully planned sequence of steps are used to gather the evidence needed to answer the big question.
Nearly every enquiry concludes with a worthwhile and significant outcome. This end product pulls the learning together and allows students to join up their thinking.
Images, sorting activities, mysteries and Venn diagrams are used to ensure that work is accessible and challenging to all.
Modelling is key to success. The intention is to ensure that the students know the secrets of success and can see what this looks like.
The end products / assessment opportunities allow your students to show you how well they are doing. How well have they grasped the key concepts? How accurate is their deployment of the substantive knowledge they use to support their arguments?
The Course Guide has more advice on how to get the best out of this Edexcel unit and how to use it to inspire your classes and raise attainment.
