Visions of America: Using Historical Discourse to Find Narrative Coherence in the GCSE Period Study
Ford, Alex
Teaching History, n176 p10-21 Sep 2019
When planning a GCSE period study on the American West, Alex Ford wrestled with reconciling the content demands of the examination specifications with the need to provide his students with a memorable narrative. In this article, Ford shows how he drew on the latest academic scholarship to construct a rigorous, coherent narrative outlining the competing 'visions' in the West. This narrative coherence then underpinned his students' sophisticated causal analyses.
