Britain and the wider world in Tudor times

Article

By Hilary Claire, published 29th September 2001

The first two articles in this series introduced three generic principles which might underpin planning a scheme of work in the KS2 History Curriculum. Article 1 (Jan 2001) drew on contemporary history to analyse and explain the principles. Article 2 (May 2001) was based mainly on material from the Victorian Unit to illustrate principles 1 and 2. The last article discusses principle 3, drawing on the unit, Britain and the Wider World in Tudor Times. Principle 3 suggests that the choice of approach and content give powerful messages to children about personal, national and global identity and sense of agency. This principle invites teachers to take a reflective, self-conscious approach which considers the underlying agenda of such choices. Issues of power, hierarchy and agency - including the diversity of ordinary people’s lives.
