This is a book of ready-to-use literacy and history activities. There is plenty of clearly explained rationale and support for their use, as well as plenty of ways to adapt and/or adopt the material. The work is put in the context of the 'Literacy Strategy' as well as the issues facing history teachers today.
If you are looking for advice and support on how to take your Year 7 history teaching to another level, to build on the literacy work already happening in Primary Schools and Year 7, then this is a must.There is also plenty to think about that challenges existing practice. Watch out for follow-up books on Year 8 and 9 too.
