On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

In classes with an odd number of students I'm always left with a row of three, which poses a problem for tasks involving paired talk. Any suggestions of how to go about paired talk in a group of three?

Trying something new in September with our KS3 history booklets. Each lesson has been reformatted to start with an immersive story. The section is called 'Entering the Past' and is followed by a longer, more analytical section called 'Understanding the Past' where the main content is delivered.

New KS3 history curriculum on the way in September. It is being built upon these substantive and disciplinary progression models.

Lots of great ideas in TH202 from @alistairdickins.bsky.social @historyteacher89.bsky.social on how to use substantive concepts in curriculum design. I'm working on KS3 and these are the foundational/supporting concepts I've got. The articles suggest a wider range but I'm worried about overload.

I grew up with Alex Pretti

The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Next week we will be trying out this new interpretation enquiry with Year 7. The aim is for the students to be able to name, describe and explain why @marcmorris.bsky.social used the ASC, Malmesbury and royal charters to write his chapter on Athelstan.

With nearly half of the Russia and its Rulers course done (OCR) I've been thinking this week about the thematic essay questions. I'm going to try to get students to think thematically about the course as a whole but also comparatively. @harryhudson21.bsky.social

Recently I've been experimenting with a new type of booklet for students in KS3. Unlike my GCSE booklets, students don't write in these and instead use an exercise book for their class work. These booklets are also less task-based, consisting mainly of a story to be read and discussed in class.

These revision timelines have formed the basis of my revision sessions with Year 11. Adding a summary box is a useful feature as it helps make sense of what otherwise could be an overwhelming mass of events.
