About this title

Synopsis

The "This is History!" series is the Schools History Project's radical new Key Stage 3 scheme of work for National Curriculum history. Through a combination of in-depth and overview units it seeks to offer a varied, relevant and challenging diet for the whole Key Stage 3 history programme of study. This volume aims to make Year 7 pupils both good story writers and experts in what everyday life was like in the Roman Empire. Readers are taken step-by-step through the process of writing good historical fiction, so that they can write a story that is readable and interesting but which is also historically well-informed. In this they use a range of types of evidence and see how even simple evidence from the distant past, such as a Roman helmet, can tell us a lot about life in those times; they examine many examples of historical fiction by established writers, analysing how they have used setting, character and plot to make their story believable; they do word- and sentence-level work in the manner of the Literacy framework; and they write their own story. A teacher's resource book is also available.
