It allows them to see that history is both contested and constructed, their teachers play an active part in creating history choosing what to include and more importantly what to leave out - meaning they have every right to contest and debate what they study.
I decided to spend some time with Year 9 reflecting on our curriculum this year. I used this diagram to reflect on the fact that, despite my best efforts, we learn relatively little history.
This culminated in students pitching a new enquiry for me to consider adding into Year 9 next year. Although lessons like these take time away from content, I think they are vital in allowing students the space to consider the nature of the subject they study.
On hearing the sad news that we were using Connected Worlds for the final time in our Year 7 curriculum, a group of students asked for a copy to take home over summer so that they could read more of the chapters we haven't covered. It's clearly been a hit! @GoodfellowWill
Eight enquiries, eight meanwhile elsewhere lessons, a little over 40,000 words of stories read, 44 cracking outcome tasks on display and one Year 9 curriculum. It's been a joy! #historyteacher
@mrwmhistory Cumulative Carousel quizzes at the end of each EQ, share mean mark.
Spend a lesson practicing exam Q then set one. Skim several, choose 2/3 under the visualiser next lesson. Next time that same q style is set, attach a picture of the feedback to minimise repeating mistakes.

They reveal aspects of power and transmission of history in Year 7, different methods of colonial control towards the end of Year 8 and showcasing the different ways in which Africans expressed their independence in Year 9.
