Tabards fight back!Welcome to the ThinkingHistory site.

We failed to add anything new in early 2008 because of the demands of work, travel and sleep. However, look out for new activities and guidance on the new KS3 in late April/early May.

For the first item, a copy of my article on 'Thinking across Time: Planning and Teaching the Story of Power and Democracy at KS3' published in Teaching History in March [ click here ].

Greetings to all friends and colleagues we met at the Euroclio conference in Bristol. And for those of you who bought the Active Learning DVD, click here for more information.
