Some of you will have studied History before.
As a class, discuss answers to the following questions;
- Which events, people or places from the past have you learnt about?
(You could create a spider diagram showing some of the interesting things you and your class-mates have learnt about). - Why do you think your teachers thought it was important that you study History?
- Why is History considered important? (Note down some suggestions you or your class-mates come up with in answer to this question).
