Historical Association webinar series: History and literacy: better together Presenter: Andrew Wrenn This practical webinar will show how the writing and insights of real historians can be used across medium-term plans in primary history. It will give examples of how historians' ideas can be simplified for presentation in different ways, how their methods can be echoed for pupils in tasking, and how pupils can explore the original evidence historians use to support their conclusions - including how pupils can test the validity of these conclusions as historical interpretations.

Historical Association webinar series: Making history accessible Presenters: Gemma Hargraves and Sally Lonsdale From a special school perspective, Sally Lonsdale will explore how history is encountered at her school. With secondary students working at Key Stage 1 age related expectations, history is seen as an ‘enriching subject’ with a strong focus on literacy and vocabulary. The session will explore how students with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities and those with EHCP outcomes are supported and show how history teaching can be effective and joyful when directed by student experience and interests and focusing on skills rather than specific knowledge.

It will consider effective ways of challenging pupils to write at length, including various forms of writing frames linked to the development of disciplinary concepts, and supporting pupils in reaching independent conclusions of their own.

Historical Association webinar series: Direct history teaching Presenters: Mike Hill and Jacob Olivey In this fifth session, Jacob and Mike will argue that 'source work' often doesn’t work.
