Article

Please note: this resource pre-dates the 2014 National Curriculum and some content and links may be outdated.

This repeats the nine examples of outcomes or tasks described in Resource A. It also includes additional notes, summarising the preparation that led up to the outcome or task and its place in an enquiry or sequence of learning. The material is designed to demonstrate that effective outcomes are not planned in a vacuum but with care, drawing on the teacher's knowledge of history and subject specific pedagogy. The outcomes and tasks show that pupils can communicate about the past in a 'variety of ways' but these are not planned as isolated episodes designed to engage and motivate on their own. They form part of a careful process of building pupils' historical knowledge through rigour and engagement in equal measure that should characterise key stage 3 history as a whole.
