Teachit History
         
 

A matter of interpretation ...


Helping students to understand that History is constructed when faced with the usual, keen students' quest for fascinating History 'facts' can be troublesome. You want them to appreciate the influence of a historian's own context and views when writing History; they want to know the exact colour and dimensions of plague victims' buboes!

Maybe there is a halfway house. The following resources all come from our Interpretations collection and attempt to marry engaging content with a stretching concept. Phew!
