A set of 11 short story starters on popular KS3 topics - Battle of Hastings, Norman Life, King John, the Black Death, Living Conditions in 19C cities, Slavery, English Civil War, Trench Life, Wall Street Crash and Holocaust. Rationale: Pupils need to read, read and read some more if they are to have success in our subject. I have written below some starter texts to draw pupils in to new topics. I have tried to harness the power of stories here by giving us something of a ‘hook’ to start discussion of a new topic by way of stimulus material. Of course you can read texts that are factual, and historical sources too. A few suggestions as to their usage: End lessons on a cliff-hanger Annotate texts before whole class reading to pick up comprehension issues Read to the class with drama and verve (channel that inner Sir Ian McKellen) Consider getting pupils to draw images as they listen to the narrative, or simply practise listening Why not speculate orally or on paper about what happens next to assess pupils’ empathy / historical knowledge in extended writing tasks?
