This unit links to the lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements in the Programme of Study and considers the key historical enquiry question, How do we find out about Isambard Kingdom Brunel? It introduces the children to the idea of historical sources, introduces the concepts of old and new, and encourages them to think about the life and times of a famous person. The approach used could be applied to the study of other famous people. It provides a wide range of opportunities for children to develop their spoken language. It is helpful if the children have: ordered events in time and used everyday terms about the passing of time; answered questions about people/ events in the past using pictures and written sources; recounted episodes from stories about the past; looked for similarities and differences between today and the past.
Lesson 1: How do we find out about a famous person?
Lesson 2: The story of Mary Seacole.

It can often be very difficult to teach inference to less able readers because they cannot access challenging texts. Texts that support the teaching of ‘reading between the lines’, or inference and deduction. The use of photographs as a first approach in this resource means all children can develop these important comprehension skills.
Each unit contains: Text 1 provides a story or explanation about the photograph that uses inference to give information (there are hints, but the author doesn’t explicitly say what is happening);Text 2 is an alternative text which makes the story really obvious. There is little or no inference and the simplicity of the text provides a good comparison with Text 1.
The texts are written to support the teaching of inference and deduction and will probably need to be read to the children. The point of the exercise is not for the children to decode the texts but to understand and answer questions about it.
Unit 1 available free on our both our website and TES shop.
