Introducing significance (GCSE AO2) to KS3 students

This sequence of learning will almost certainly be at least two lessons and is aimed at developing students understanding of how historians establish 'significance' when looking at people or events. After looking at a single person, and being supported to make a judgement, they will look at three wars of the Twentieth Century and then make a judgement about which was the most significant and why? This is done using a significance judgement sheet. Students will then use a writing frame to support them to write up their findings.
