Cunning Plans
Cunning Plans are one of the regular features in Teaching History. While they all follow the same basic principles, offering a step by step series of instructions for tackling a particular issue, the purpose and scale of each plan varies considerably. They range from detailed suggestions for teaching specific topics or responding to particular challenges, through outline schemes of work for a particular enquiry, to overarching frameworks that map progression in relation to particular concepts or themes. The vast majority are written by classroom teachers, eager to share their successful ideas in an accessible format. Each one sets out the issue or problem that the plan is intended to address and provides a series of instructions – a kind of recipe – for achieving the core objective(s).
