Effortless Delivery: Clearly defined objectives and explicit teaching content make lesson delivery smooth and confident, guiding students through foundational historical concepts like continuity, change, and perspective, all through relatable topics like toys, games, and family roles.

Natural Assessment: Embedded formative assessment opportunities within activities allow you to easily monitor student progress as they compare objects, contribute to class Venn diagrams, and share what they've learned from interviewing family members.
Extension Included: Thoughtfully designed extension tasks challenge advanced learners to write a simple story about a child in the past or design an outfit for a historical figure.
Real-World Connections: Connect students' understanding of their own family to the wider flow of history, building a strong foundation for personal identity and an appreciation for the stories of their parents and grandparents.
