1 total work
This teaching handbook accompanies the pupil's book which studies the life, times and culture of China from the first Emperor to the Mongol conquest. The author has extensively researched the subject, developing a colourful picture of the main dimensions of Chineses history. The approach is lively and the book includes many different types of sources which should amuse and interest pupils. The author invites pupils to both discover the diversity and achievement of Imperial China and contrast life and events in China with those of the West at that time. The book is part of a series written for the Supplementary Study units at Key Stage 3. "A Sense of History Supplements" provide resource material for the supplementary study units fully covering the Attainment Targets. Each pupil's book is in full colour and presents each topic in a lively and informative way. Throughout there are activities to encourage the development of conceptual understanding enabling pupils to acquire the skills they need to demonstrate progression within the Attainment Targets. Each author adopts a structure and level which is most appropriate to the age, interests and needs of the intended pupils.
Providing a disciplined approach to historical study, the text is divided into short sections - each concerned with a distinct phase of the study. A range of political, social, cultural and economic approaches and insights are offered. Sources are drawn from the world of museums and libraries, heritage sites, local archive collections and the work of archaeologists and historians. Each book contains approximately six review and assessment pages. This teaching handbook has been written by the author of the pupil's book it accompanies. It relates the author's own teaching and learning strategy in structuring the content and shows how the attainment targets are integral to this. It includes an overall introduction to the subject covered, the approaches taken and the opportunities for assessment within the study unit. Ideas for planning work on the topic and using the handbook are outlined in depth by chapter, with useful additional material and explanation. Finally, there is a section on Assessment which includes an analysis of the Review and Assessment sections, details of the Attainment Targets they address, alongside suggested answers.
