|
|
Objectives |
| Children should learn: |
- to identify a range of appropriate sources of information
- to compare sources of information available for the study of different times in the past
- that the type of information available depends on the period of time studied
|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
Refer to the sources of information used in the first activity and to children's prior learning in history to talk about the different types of sources of information available in different periods that the children have studied, eg What type did we use to find out about ancient Greece? The Victorians? What was similar? What was different?
Discuss with them the similarities and differences between this evidence and that for other periods. What types of evidence have we used to find out about change since 1948? What other types of evidence could we use to find out about this period that is not available for different periods they have studied?
|
|
- identify similarities and differences between types of sources of information available in different periods in the past
|
|
Points to note |
At this point, it is important that the children are told that they will be carrying out their own enquiry into life in Britain since 1948 so they can start thinking about what types of sources of information they can use.
