Past into Present

by Christopher Culpin and David Linsell

Published 5 January 1989
This series of books is aimed primarily at the lower school age group and provides a foundation for GCSE. It adopts a broadly chronological framework within which selected topics are explored in depth. The skills covered include cause and consequence, similarity and difference, change and continuity, use of evidence, primary and secondary sources and empathy and chronology. Each book contains a skills guide, as well as a time-line of events and a glossary of difficult terms. Every unit focuses on two or three skills and/or concepts which are highlighted in the aims section at the start. At the end of each section an assessment section tests the pupil's use of these skills and concepts. All pupil books are accompanied by a separate booklet of lesson notes for teachers.
