Think more deeply and work more independently at A level History through a carefully thought-out enquiry approach from SHP.
Enquiring History: It makes you think!
The OFSTED report on school history suggests that the current generation of A Level students have been poorly served by exam-based textbooks which spoon-feed students while failing to enthuse them or develop deeper understandings of studying History
The Schools History Project has risen to this challenge with a new series for the next generation. Enquiring History is SHP’s fresh approach to Advanced Level History that aims:
– To motivate and engage readers
– To help readers think and gain independence as learners
– To encourage enquiry, and deeper understanding of periods and the people of the past
– To engage with current scholarship
– To prepare A Level students for university
