2 Year 7 An overnight residential visit to Cranborne Ancient Technology Centre in the Autumn term to support the study of Viking culture (not an oxymoron as many suspect!). Year 8 Visits to Corfe Castle to study medieval and early modern building in situ (in anticipation of similar requirements in the new GCSE course. Year 9 A three day visit to the Trenches of Belgium and France to tie in with the study of the First World War. Skills developed in KS3 We believe that we should look at equipping students with a set of skills which will be applicable at GCSE (and eventually at A Level) during KS3. Knowledge and understanding with Key concepts Demonstrate, organise and communicate knowledge and understanding of the key features and characteristics of the periods studied and the relationships between them. Cause and consequence Use the good stuff on what is a cause and what is a consequence from IGCSE Change/continuity Is there a simple way of setting this up? Table etc. Similarity/difference Like comparison questions on IGCSE World War One Paper similarity, difference, extent of agreement (possibly even the significance of that agreement/disagreement) Significance within an historical context Diamond 9 then writing up as Significant more significant most significant factor Explain and analyse key concepts, arriving at substantiated judgements Wrapping them up in essays which ask them to judge between the relative significance of factors as we always have done in the Year 8 exam (as elsewhere). Do we want essay planning guides? Primary Source Evaluation Understand, analyse, evaluate and make historical claims from a range of source material Establish CRAVEN analysis as the basic vocabulary to talk about and dissect source material. Using the flow diagrams we used to have for GCSE Controlled (see appendix 1) but without their mindless and repetitive action. Interpretations of Secondary Sources Analyse, evaluate and make substantiated judgements about interpretations (including how and why interpretations may differ) in the context of historical events studied. Textbook/ resources

3 A huge variety of textbook are used in the various years. History is not about one version but using many sources and making informed judgements. Students would be well advised to read a good newspaper, watch reputable news reports, read widely and then think critically about all that they have seen, heard and read.
