Tim Jenner talking to @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19 about improving students' relationships with reading - using stories as a way in to reading the words of historians. A range of reading helps students discuss the process and the constructed & contested nature of History.

Ideas from @bones_carmel @JackanHistory @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19 on how to improve vocabulary. Amazingly fun session - thanks to you both!

We must discuss meanings of words with students. At A Level students often misuse the Q's key word, e.g. 'it transformed a lot, it transformed a little'. Denies access to Lv4/Lv5. @JackanHistory @bones_carmel @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

Students need 50K words in their vocabulary by end of yr 11. We need to embed this. Students should read with a pen in hand - doing something with text rather than only colouring it in. @JackanHistory @bones_carmel @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

Cruikshank illustrated the grotesque caricature pre-Peterloo but also the noble, heroic image post-massacre. Indicative of the shift it provoked. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19 #Peterloo2019

Intriguing primary research which indicates that the Peterloo massacre was foreshadowed by private advice from the government. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19 #Peterloo2019

A really useful video for outlining the events of Peterloo, plus a graphic novel co-authored by Robert Poole which makes the events accessible to learners. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19 #Peterloo2019

Saturday night plenary session from Robert Poole, author of Peterloo: the English Uprising, which is available this month. Places Peterloo in its historical context. The 5 subsequent reforms 1832-1928 were a process enabled by Peterloo. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19 #Peterloo2019

The issue of interpretations in particular here from @rachelfoster08 was fascinating. Great way to expose students to historiography & 'the processes that historians use', how questions are framed, how sources are worked with & how claims are constructed. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

A great suffrage activity from @rachelfoster08 - 30 biographies. We were asked to underline any wider narratives the stories fit into. Issues of Empire, class privilege, socio-economics, etc. 'We might use these stories to get out into the overview'. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

A fantastic resource described by @rachelfoster08 - it changes our view of where suffrage campaigners came from, using family & local histories. Each dot represents a campaigner. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

Myth 3: polarisation between Suffragettes & Suffragists - the lines were blurred. @rachelfoster08: individual stories show 'these boundaries were fluid - they didn't recognise these hard & fast distinctions that we try & drone into students' heads.' @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

Myth 2: the 'shrieking Suffragette'. As @rachelfoster08 explains, the decision to use extremist methods was not an irrational one, it was logically thought through - and it was not anything new, as this slide shows. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

Myth 1: nothing happened until the Suffragettes came along. As @rachelfoster08 explains, change was (slowly) happening already. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

My curriculum design needs improvement in this area, as in bringing in named women (Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine) I'm only teaching 'great women' instead of integrated history. @rachelfoster08 @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

Playing with students' preconceptions and getting them to engage with the stories from @MirandaKaufmann before revealing that these people were #BlackTudors. Activity places an historian into the classroom & let students make the case for significance. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19

Different narratives of the Tudor period from Joshua Garry. Talks about the narrowness of the KS3 curriculum: "the one time I learnt about someone who looked like me, it hurt a little - it hurt a lot". Curriculum also has a duty of care. @1972SHP #SHP2019 #shp19 @MirandaKaufmann
