Be sure to sign up to see the SOW I have developed from @MsNMS_ enquiry/idea of: What led to the toppling of Colston’s statue?
Come & hear about how the book has helped to develop @MsNMS_ enquiry question.
Our history curriculum should be based on enquiry questions that result in evaluative thought. Answers should be difficult to come by and not everyone should reach the same conclusion. Better yet, these should be based in academix scholarship, written by historians
Normalise saying:
“I don’t really know anything about that, so I don’t want to comment until I’ve learned more about it.”
That’s a sign of strength, not weakness.
@watchfulfolk@HistoryPrimary@histassoc@BALHNews@DavidOlusoga I’ve created an enquiry around Sylvia’s work: How can local history help us challenge generalisations of the Transatlantic slave trade? We will be teaching it for the first time this year. It was such a fascinating read I can’t wait to share her research with Year 8.
We also had a walking journey through our enquiries from Year 7 to Year 13. We displayed the academic books our curriculum is designed around, as well as student work.
@hannahcusworth I would just like to personally thank you for your Mansa Musa enquiry on Oak! My Year 8 students were so engaged and excited about this history.
