| Children will need opportunities to make their own individual records of the important changes and how they are linked as a source for their extended writing. This could be done in a three-column grid, with the headings 'Description of change' in one topic area, 'How this led to change' in another topic area and 'When did this change happen?'
This activity provides an appropriate context to encourage children to reflect upon their note making, eg how are their notes on the presentation different from those made earlier about the causes of change? Encourage the children to consider the effectiveness of the grid as a device for guiding their listening and note making.
This activity could be adapted or extended by asking the children to make an oral presentation or class display about what they found out.
