This is History!

This series contains many of the most innovative and effective ideas developed in history teaching in recent years. These books are not just another worthy trot through history with every topic receiving the same limited coverage. Instead they provide both studies in depth and outline histories, each of which is a genuine historical investigation. What's more, they're fun - being written for 11-13 year olds not for watered-down historians!

Click on the headings below to see how these books can be used successfully to teach most of the major themes set out in the 2008 KS3 Programme of Study. How's that for prescience?

Conflict

Four books that deal with conflict from the 11th–20th centuries: ‘The Norman Conquest’, ‘The Trenches’, ‘The Holocaust’ and ‘The 20th Century’.
