Product Description
Review
'I think this is a sound and very useful and much needed book. It should sell well. It addresses very real and practical needs to improve teaching and demonstrate teaching quality through good practice.' - Paul Hyland, Bath Spa University 'I think that there is a market for intelligent and well structured collections of 'worked' activities designed to provide stimulating educational activities, and to broaden teaching approaches.' - Terry Haydn, University of Warwick '... contains many useful ideas for history teachers. It is easy to use in an informative and accessible style and the practical exercises included within the book are applicable to teachers around the world.' - Alan Booth, University of Nottingham
Product Description
Written by practitioners for practitioners, Enlivening Secondary History is the ideal handbook for busy history teachers who want to do something different in their classrooms, but have little time to plan and organise their lessons. Featuring tried-and-tested practical ideas complete with relevant exemplars and step-by-step advice, this book offers forty activities based on the following four themes:
* visuals
* numerical data
* abstract ideas
* primary texts.
Each activity includes links to important topics at Key Stages 3 and 4 and at A/AS level including the Crusades; the Reformation; the two World Wars; Revolutionary Russia and many more.
All the ideas are explained in a clear, user-friendly style, with a breakdown of the time and resources needed for each one.
This extensive resource allows teachers to bring history alive in an imaginative and innovative way. It will be an indispensable guide for both experienced and student teachers.

Format:Paperback
I really enjoy this book, and frequently dip into it when I'm feeling uninspired. It does what it says on the tin: provides 40 varied and interesting teaching approaches to history, focusing on the whole range of skills including numeracy, ICT, question formulation, presentation and research.
Unlike some books written for teachers, which seem to place too much of a premium on academic theorizing, this book refreshingly focuses on being immediately useful for the busy classroom teacher who wants to "spice up" their lessons with creative approaches with obvious academic benefits.
Highly recommended!

There are several good ideas in this book. I teach U.S. and World History, and there are resources that can be used for both. Furthermore, many of the lesson ideas can be used for other topics.

This book is OK, and not quite what I expected it to be. Does have some pretty good ideas, but I wouldn't buy it again.
