Time Flies...

Well this term has certainly flown by. It has been hectic and it has been mad at times, but it has also been a lot of fun. During history sessions this term, trainees have considered what History is, developed activities and learning experiences, reflected upon lessons, considered opportunities for addressing aspects of history in the plans, evaluated resources, considered teaching approaches, looked at readings, used a wide range of artefacts, visited local sites, monuments and galleries, questioned sources, considered interpretations and taken part in workshops at the Walker Art Gallery and the World Museum in Liverpool. Phewff.

I'll leave you with a little Christmas fact file here.

Have a good break and I'll see you in the New Year.

Thiird Year Specialists

This week sees the return of my third year history minor specialists. Sessions will focus upon planning, the role of the coordinator and employability. 

However, we kick off proceedings by finding out about the personalised placements that took place last year. I'm very much looking forward to hearing about the experiences they have gained whilst they have been away.

Then we will examine the unit 'The Roman Empire and its impact on Britain', looking at a variety of approaches and ensuring that an enquiry approach is adopted. We've also got a range of resources/replica artefacts and activities to examine. These will focus on aspects of the Romans in Britain, such as Boudicca's revolt.

All in all, it promises to be a great session. Will post more when I get the chance.
