Seeing an interesting/partially worrying trend with Year 9 taking History as an options subject this year. Interested to see if this is reflected nationally?

We’re on the writing lesson of our 17th century enquiry ‘How much did Samuel Pepys’ world really change?’ Today we were crafting concluding sentences and I asked for a volunteer to add an appositive after Pepys name. A student puts their hand up: ‘What about “Samuel Pepys, a historians dream”’😂

Waking up to lots of new followers on here this morning! Hello! I’m Rosie, looking to connect on all things history teaching. I’m not that organised to post stuff all the time but always up for chatting/swapping resources #historyteachersUK

2. On the subject of evidence and interpretations, I think @michaelfordham.bsky.social's points about the potential for set texts in history are still really persuasive. clioetcetera.com/2015/06/20/w...

Why don’t we have set texts in history?
Short extracts of sources or interpretations have been a feature of history exams for decades, and, I would argue, they have never been done well. For those unfamiliar with how this works, in most …

Picking the answers that are most in need of feedback (max 3) and going through these as WCF. All other misconceptions followed up in later re-teaching/retrievals etc

So, are we officially all communicating on Bluesky now? Is X/Twitter in the bin?

Calling all teachers of AQA history GCSE 📣 How do you approach the (dreaded) source utility Q in the Conflict and Tension paper… Keen to gather some thoughts/ideas/areas of success

One thing I love about September, I just being in the classroom teaching bloody good lessons! I just want to bottle up the expectant energy & initial enthusiasm that a new term brings!

Rosie Culkin-Smith @misscs-teach.bsky.social · 01/09/2024
Saw @edurbin.bsky.social post about this and couldn’t agree more. GCSE source Q’s distort students understanding of the discipline and puts them off what is possibly the most fascinating part of our subject! Come on Labour 👀

Couldn’t agree more. I think it also distorts students disciplinary understanding and switches many of them off what is possibly the MOST interesting part!

Rhodes Old Town for me (dragged myself from my sun lounger for an afternoon). Loved seeing the blend of Byzantine/Christian/Ottoman influences

Similar to a lot of the posts above. I also try to use it for paragraph/exam question planning. Getting students to start with some simple sentence construction/practice ideas prior to putting pen to paper and removing the fear of failure. Great opportunity for quick verbal FB and redrafting also!
