This book guides teachers through the British Core Units and each Extension Study category of the National Curriculum Programme of Study. The volume explores possibilities for extending children's perspectives on the past and the present to avoid exclusively Eurocentric or male-centered approaches to history and to consider how to include working class history. The book shows how stories, topics, and the lives of famous people can set pupils on an inclusive and intellectually rigorous study of history. Original research into historical events and figures provides a valuable resource along with the substantial resource section containing accounts of the lives of people relevant to Key Stage (KS) 1 and 2 History, plus annotated booklists of relevant historical fiction and non-fiction for juniors. Chapters include: (1) "An Introduction to the Issues"; (2) "Themes and Topics in Key Stage 1"; (3) "Using Stories to Support Key Stage 1 History"; (4) "A Place in the Hall of Fame"; (5) "The Key Stage 2 Curriculum"; (6) "Study Unit 1: Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Vikings in Britain"; (7) "Study Unit 2: Life in Tudor Times"; (8) "Study Unit 3a: Victorian Britain"; (9) "Study Unit 3b: Britain Since 1930"; (10) "Study Unit 5: Local History"; (11) "Study Unit 6: A Past Non-European Society, General Issues, and an Examplar: Benin"; (12) "Lives of Distinction Connected with Britain, Resources for KS 1 'Famous People' and KS 2--Study Units 3a and 3b"; (13) "Annotated Resources"; and (14) "Organisations and Bookshops." Two appendices and an index conclude the volume. (EH)
