Formative Assessment in History: Using Evidence at KS3

Price: £0.00
Age Range: KS3

Guide your students step by step through the process of making sound decisions using sources as evidence. An introductory murder case (Brenda's Murder) gets students comfortable with the process without being tied to a specific (and potentially intimidating) historical context. Subsequent quizzes allow students to apply and develop the same skills in relation to topics featured in the KS3 History SoW.

Students complete quizzes which test their ability to:

identify sources
analyse sources
combine and evaluate sources

Conclusions drawn from their analyses can be polled using a survey format (Whodunnit, The Killer! and What Do You Think?) and projected or written on the board to facilitate a dynamic and engaging class discussion.

Teacher Notes and suggested lesson plans are here
