Film: Creating a more positive interpretation of the Middle Ages at Key Stage 3
Secondary History Workshop Annual Conference 2019
Rethinking the Middle Ages
Popular perceptions of life, politics and morality in the Middle Ages are overwhelmingly negative, a far cry from images being developed by historians through their research. This workshop explores how to tweak and change familiar topics (including the reign of Richard III) to create a more historically accurate, positive and nuanced picture of the period, which will in turn provide a stronger framework for approaching this period at GCSE.
This secondary workshop took place at at the Historical Association Annual Conference, Chester, May 2019.
