Welcome to the History Academy. This classic first lesson for use with Year 7 at the start of KS3, has been one of the biggest downloads of all time amongst history teachers. It is designed for the full ability range and has been updated into its current format with a few extra tweaks, video links and information slides. This resource can be used alongside pretty much any textbook on this topic and be easily customised for your students. The aims and objectives of this lesson are: Theme: How do historians find out about the past? Know: What different types of evidence do historians use? Understand: What is the difference between a primary and secondary source? Evaluate: Evidence and decide whether it is a primary or secondary source? Skills: Source Analysis, Evaluation and Judgement. WILF – What Am I Looking For? Identify & describe: The different types sources that historians use. Explain: The difference between a primary and a secondary source? Analyse: Evidence and decide whether it is a primary or secondary source? The lesson begins with a choice of starters, snowballing or buzz and go. I’ve then linked in some information slides, tasks, activities and video clips about the role of historians and archaeologists. This in then followed up with an explanation of what a primary and secondary source is and finished off with a choice of drag and drop activities from either Medieval or Roman times on Primary V Secondary Evidence. I’ve also included some PEE or PEEL writing frames as additional tasks to help some classes explain in their own words what a primary or secondary source is. This is designed to be a fun lesson where you outline key historical skills and expectations on how to set work out and write extended answers.
