Crafting History Resources
History of Place
The History of Place resourcesproject is adaptable to any place (village, town, city, county, region) in England to learn about the local history of that place.
The History of Place project is inspired by First Nations of Canada's understanding of place and how this is connected to the past. It also engages with two specific historical thinking concepts: chronological understanding and historical significance.
The History of Place resources can be used to teach a stand-alone workshop or a series of lessons. Most suited to children aged approx 7-13 but can be adapted for older or younger students, including adult students
Suitable for classroom-based learning and other settings.
