Harry Farr was convicted of ‘cowardice’ in the war (after suffering shell shock or PTSD). We delved into his story, from the time he joined the British Army to the point where he was executed for refusing to go to the front lines.

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

This was a moving and highly relevant lesson: ‘What does the story of Harry Farr tell us about attitudes towards men’s mental health during the First World War?’.

It was a great opportunity to make comparisons with attitudes towards men’s mental health in the 21st century too.

@SpitfireFilly @militaryhistori @HoZ_Books @GeorginaCapel Excited to both read and share with the students I teach!

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

For those teaching in or around London, the new names for the Overground’s lines are an interesting and topical way to get students thinking about popular historical significance.

It’s something different than the common usage of banknotes, songs, films and artwork.

On the anniversary of the Russian attack on Ukraine we have made out Historian 'Ukraine edition' open access - learn about culture and history as well as politics of conflict. https://t.co/TZrmp8R6mw

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

Ended this year’s Year 9 Holocaust topic with examples of other genocides and the work of Laurence Rees. He makes this history really accessible and writes so well - he is a big reason for why I became so interested in it.

This webinar organized by @enrs_eu will be happening tomorrow at 4pm!

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

Using the inspiration from Ark Soane Academy’s History Conference and the value of using captivating stories in the classroom. My Year 12s and I really enjoyed close analysis of photographs from revolutionary Russia. The book, ‘Nicholas and Alexandra’, has fantastic descriptions.

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

Really proud of Year 8 who have answered a comparative question on ‘how far did colonial rule differ across the British Empire?’.

Many wrote nuanced arguments, discussing how features of colonialism like trade and looting occurred in most colonies but in different ways.

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

I’ve found them to be really useful for parents’ evenings too. Makes discussions more precise and less jargonistic.

[Derrick Roberts @MrRobHistory]

These exam wrappers have been brilliant. Students are reflecting on their performance and preparation

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

Reflecting on my school’s incredible work on Holocaust education…

- Holocaust Memorial Day assemblies
- A Level History coursework
- Annual visits to Auschwitz
- Year 9 and Year 10 curriculum

All made more important given this year’s anniversary and the rise in hate crimes.

[H.E.T. @HolocaustUK]

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, marking 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. As survivors grow fewer and antisemitism rises, today is more vital than ever.

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

Join at 12:20 to hear me talk about teaching the British Empire.

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

Join me online this Saturday with @TTRHistory !

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

Looking forward to delivering my next talk with Teachers Talk Radio.

This time I’ll be sharing the content and pedagogy I’ve used in my new scheme of work on the British Empire.

[Teachers Talk History @TTRHistory]

Plus @MrReeceHistory and @mrotscott

[Mr Reece @MrReeceHistory]

Some examples of Year 8 responding to research and inference tasks.

Impressed with their use of ‘imperialism’, ‘indigenous’ and their knowledge of specific groups.

The lesson sequencing usually has a lesson on indigenous people followed by a lesson on colonial rule.
