Change the history that pupils learn at Key Stage 3. Reframe familiar topics, discover forgotten stories and amplify unheard voices. Through an evocative, story-based approach, this ground-breaking course brings together historical scholarship and enquiry, presenting a truly diverse, inclusive and ambitious history curriculum. This is the history we owe to our pupils. This is the past for today and tomorrow.
- A strong chronological spine gives pupils the knowledge to understand, question and disrupt national narratives, from local stories to global developments. - The power of story captivates pupils, improves literacy and makes content memorable. - A truly diverse curriculum weaves gender, class, race and religion into every chapter with sensitivity and sophistication. - Informed by current scholarship from historians including Helen Castor, Ruby Lal and Toby Green.
- Built for Ofsted's aspirational curriculum - rigorous, coherent and sequenced for genuine progression. Connected Worlds is the first book in the complete Changing Histories for KS3 series. All three books are now available: Connected Worlds, c.1000-c.1600 · Expanding Worlds, c.1600-c.1870 · Fragile Worlds, c.1870-present day
