This short thread by Cat Priggs made me think: History planning is about tying things together into a shape, a flow – usually a story & often a parallel flow of the analytic direction created by the EQ. It isn't about breaking things up into propositions and it's rarely about teaching a procedure.

I don't read many edu-books these days but this one was worth making an exception for. An excellent primer condensing lots of writing and discourse in the subject community. Strongly recommended, especially to History ITTs, teachers who didn't get much quality subject input in training and new HoDs.
