History

Number of lessons per fortnight:    3

Course Description:

Under the new KS3 curriculum we teach History through a series of „big pictures‟which enable students to follow a story across History. The themes included: Power and democracy, Conflict and co-operation, everyday lives, attitudes and beliefs, movement and settlement. These big picture themes are covered through a series of enquiry questions. Topics covered are:

1. Ordinary life – what did the industrial revolution do for us?
2. Empire – why were Europeans mad about Empires
3. Movement and settlement – Into the unknown – were all emigrants brave and adventurous
4. Conflict – which wars should we know about?
5. Power – when and why did kings lose control?
6. Power – how did ordinary people win the right to vote?
