Building and securing disciplinary thinking in primary history

Session 2: Helping children think about cause and consequence

One of the most common questions asked by historians is ‘why...?’ Why did this event happen? How did the event happen? What were the results of this event? This session will explore disciplinary thinking around cause and consequence, helping children to see multiple causes, connections between causes, and explain why some causes are more important than others. We will use examples from Alexander the Great, Baghdad, and the Vikings.
