Using Drama techniques, we will give guidance on how to help children think like historians.

On Thursday 23rd March 7-8.30pm on Zoom we will be joined by Jane Burr who will give guidance on using Drama to teach History at KS2.

About this session

Using primary and secondary sources as stimuli, we will explore through still image, marking the moment, deepening characterisation and critical thinking to help children think like historians.

Why this session is good to come to

Based on The Vikings invasion at Lindisfarne, this session will take you and your pupils on a journey through a variety of sources using drama to question the most likely interpretations of what happened in 793 AD.
