Read it like a historian
Read it like a historian has pupils question a source the way the subject does: who made it and when, why, and what else would tell us. In science, the claim, the method and the evidence.
The real slide Chalk makes, in the Classroom look. Every word is written for your lesson when you use it.
How to run it
- Read the source and its caption.
- Answer the three questions from the source.
- Ask what a historian would trust, and why.
Why it works
Reading as the subject reads is disciplinary literacy, which the EEF recommends for every secondary subject.
