ABSTRACT

Originally published in 1993, this volume will be of particular interest to primary school teachers who may never have taught history as a discreet subject before and who are worried by their negative memories of school history and lack confidence as to their own knowledge of the subject. The author provides a practical guide to the theory and rudiments of history with guidance on how to present it using primary evidence in an exciting way that makes sense in terms of primary practice.
