PGCE History Preparation: January 2011
http://kwalker89.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 January 2011. It's been ages since I last visited this blog. I have however decided that I would prefer to keep copies of my notes in a folder rather than continue with this blog. I have over the last few months been reading up about the module (International Relations) for year 10 teaching as well as Britain 1815-1865 for teaching my AS class. More information about this can be seen in my Subject Knowledge Folder. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). University of Leicester - History PGCE Preparation.

PGCE History Preparation: Teaching conclusion of chapter
http://kwalker89.blogspot.com/2010/09/teaching-conclusion-of-chapter.html
Tuesday, 7 September 2010. Teaching conclusion of chapter.

Therefore I would either ask the children to determine for themselves whether there was a political crisis or not? Whichever option I chose to use to teach this lesson, the main aim of the lesson would be for the children to determine whether or not there was a political ...

Tuesday, 7 September 2010. Conclusion of chapter on Governmnet, politics and the state 1536-88. The end of this chapter looks at whether or not there was a political crisis? It is often believed that there was a non-political crisis:. The permanent machinery of State continued to function without a break after 1547. The ruling elites provided great support and loyalty to the legitimate monarchy. At no time, even in 1549 with the fall of somerset, was there a real political crisis. Teaching conclusion of ...

PGCE History Preparation: Teaching the rule of Mary Tudor
http://kwalker89.blogspot.com/2010/09/teaching-rule-of-mary-tudor.html
Tuesday, 7 September 2010. Teaching the rule of Mary Tudor. Further on from my last post, I am now going to explain how I would teach this topic to students:. The main aim of the lesson would be for the children to be able to answer the following question:. How should Mary's reign be assessed? As a failure or a success? In order for the children to be able to answer this question, I would explain to the children what are considered to be the main successes and failures of her reign. Marriage to Philip II.

Saturday, 31 July 2010. Today, I have looked at the Peasants' Revolt of 1381: the causes of the revolt, the events of the revolt and the outcomes of the revolt using books (F. Renoldson and D. Taylor, Medieval Realms and R. Adams, Medieval Realms) and internet sites ( http:/ www.marxists.org/history/england/peasants-revolt/story.htm. I have learnt that the main causes of the revolt were:.
