How do you solve a problem like a cross-trust, cumulative 50 minute KS3 History summative assessment? https://t.co/3IIh2hV27h

@jonniegrande Thanks!

I saw a post on here about world building in RE, thought I had book marked it but can’t find it. Can anyone help? #REteachers #historyteachers

@fatherofpod @Counsell_C @CatPriggs @HughJRichards @histassoc @daisychristo @DavidDidau I always find this @DTWillingham article helpful for helping to establish part of the rationale behind narrative for those coming to it cold https://t.co/uztauMMY4s

How often do we present ourselves as interpreters of the past to children? How often do we say: this is my take, but Mr S next door sees it differently? ⁦@mfordhamhistory⁩ on why great history teachers openly mediate the past as interpreters & *show* that mediation #Soane24

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@MrMountstevens @mfordhamhistory I’ve previously thought this would be a great end to year 9. Something like showing them the LTP/curriculum map of what they’ve learnt vs other schools. What’s the same, what’s different, what did their teachers assign significance to be leave out? Sorry to miss out on #soane24

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@HelenPins unhelpfully I think it depends on the examiner setting the question. If I remember correctly, a past exam paper gave the murdrum fine as stimulus point for a question on law enforcement.

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@Mr_RKeogh @freereed59 Lots of great enquiries and rich stories! Do you address the European aspect of the Reformation? And does Sophia Duleep Singh feature? (She would be a brilliant way to connect EQ 6 and 7 in year 8)

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@MrThorntonTeach Used so much of your stuff so hope it’s helpful.

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@missrcarter89 @MrThorntonTeach Glad it was helpful!

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@MsAylingHist Yes, problematising the word ‘cost’ and looking at political cost to Germany, Russia & Ottoman Empire alongside human and financial cost.

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@MsAylingHist We looked at this as part of an enquiry on the cost of World War I and it’s impact on Russia. I’ve got some reading that we created knocking around if that would help? There is an incredible first hand account of the murder of the Tsar and family here: https://t.co/iPJBh7UPQn

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@HughJRichards @StuartMaconie If you’re interested I’ve got an enquiry I can send you to have a look at. Ellen Wilkindon’s book ‘The Town that was Murdered’ is also a great source and very evocative.

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@MrPattisonTeach @sehartsmith Thanks for sharing this and explaining the clear rational. I’m intrigued by the comparative marking across the different extended answers and how you go about this? (we’re using comp marking but all students answer the same question https://t.co/3IIh2hV27h).

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

Don’t know why but my brain will always make me type ‘markscheme’ rather than ‘mark scheme’. #realstruggles

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@BenLovett10 Liked it from a culture point of view and building connections with and between lots of students but we also did PSHE in tutor time which meant the curriculum had to change each year rather than follow a clear sequence from year 7 through year 8 etc…

[Sometimesiteachgood @stitghistory]

@BenLovett10 @MsLECHistory Yes, we do lots of drawing arrows between sources and interpretations!

Supporting Ss to build substantive knowledge abt the past - rich, deep, lasting knowl that means s’thing & matters to Ss - is vital, but really hard!

Delighted to have an article in @histassoc TH192 exploring my journey so far through this challenge.
