      Teaching History feature
    This issue's problem: Claudia Jones is very uncomfortable with any kind of sustained story-telling. Claudia Jones is a quietly spoken and rather nervous trainee.

  • Year 12 write Zambia's history for Zambian students

      Teaching History article
    Peter Gray explains how his Year 12 students came to research and write a resource on the history of Zambia, for history teachers in Zambia. The construction of the resource stretched the Year 12 students in new ways: the Internet was useless and there were no easy digests in A-Level...

  • The Irish in Britain 1815-1914

      Classic Pamphlet
    Irish migration to Britain has a long and chequered history, yet only in recent years have historians examined this subject in depth, through a growing body of local, regional and national studies which have supplemented the earlier pioneering research of J. E. Handley and J. A. Jackson. These studies have...

      Primary History article
    Please note: this article pre-dates the 2014 National Curriculum and some content may be outdated. As a primary teacher in the United States, I was sometimes caught off guard by students' ideas about time.

  • Primary history in the 21st century: Back to the past?

      Primary History article
    During my teaching of history I have been amazed by the asinine questions that children and adults ask about the subject matter. For example, a child once asked, ‘Sir, if Queen Cleopatra hadn't been bitten by the asp would she still be alive today?'. This question suggests that despite comprehensive...

      Primary History article
    Please note: this article pre-dates the 2014 National Curriculum and some content may be outdated. Research during the last ninety years has suggested that ‘time' concepts, such as chronology, duration and the usage of dating systems are difficult for children to assimilate.

      Teaching History feature
    For students of my generation (born in 1954) the 1930s had a very clear identity; so, when the far-left Socialist Workers Party launched a campaign against unemployment, in 1975, with the slogan: ‘No Return to the Thirties', we all knew what they meant: unemployment, economic deprivation and the political betrayal...
