Where the unit fits in

This unit contains a framework that can be applied to any historical context. It could be:

  • taught as a self-standing study
  • 'nested' within other areas of study
  • used to add substance to a narrative/overview within an in-depth study
  • used to act as a springboard into the study of how individuals affect history

It will build on the discussion of individuals in unit 1 'Introductory unit'. There are possible links with the science scheme of work where it relates to key individuals.
