Overview of the Unit
Overview of the Unit
History is the investigation of people’s actions and experiences in past times. When we investigate the past we are using our curiosity, imagination and historical skills to find out about:
the societies and values of people who lived in the past
what people did and the reasons for, and results of, their actions
how the world and its peoples have changed over time.
We follow the methods and procedures that historians and other experts have developed. We think about how they use and interpret past remains, the debates that emerge from their findings and the issues on which they agree and disagree.
Investigating the past helps us understand other people’s viewpoints and develops our skills in thinking, questioning, analysing, interpreting, explaining and arguing. It helps us to understand how our world has changed over time, how the past has shaped the world in which we live today and how we can play a part in its future.
