| What does this course involve at Key Stage 3?
History at key stage 3 involves developing historical skills and processes such as evidential understanding, change and consequence, significance, similarities and differences as well as cause and consequence. We teach this through a variety of historical enquiries, using MYP concepts and contexts. What do you need to be successful in this course? To be successful a student needs to demonstrate detailed knowledge of periods studied in depth, as well as a wider knowledge of patterns over time. This should be secured within a chronological framework that encompasses local, British and World History. Students should be able to make links between periods when demonstrating historical skills. |
