In this lesson students challenge an interpretation made by the History Channel. The lesson is set-up by students watching a minute long introduction to a documentary. They then spend the lesson trying to test the interpretation presented. The end result is that students write a letter to the History Channel advising whether their statement was right or wrong. I taught this lesson to some able Y6 students but it work equally well for Y7 and Y8 if desired. Example student work attached.

Designed for a Year 8 class, this lesson explores the Great Fire of London and encourages students to understand why it got so out of control. The concept you spin to students is that they have been selected to travel back in time to investigate the historical event. When they are in 1666, they gather evidence to then create a hypothesis. Excellent for AG&T, exploration and student-led learning. Also supplied are some sticker templates because giving students name badges always improves the status of the activity you are trying to engage them in :-) All images required through a search engine labelled for reuse. The Sky Academy clip attached is provided for use in schools. Comments are appreciated.
