Course summary

History will equip you with a critical and inquisitive mind, always looking for a deeper understanding and always challenging yourself to reflect on your perspective. You will develop your skills of persuasion and reasoning, as well as improve your ability to condense large amounts of information into succinct but well-reasoned responses. You will consider the viewpoint of other historians and consider how “convinced” you are by their arguments. You’ll look at source material from the time and embrace the mindset of those who experienced the period of History we’ll be looking at. Alongside this, you’ll always be an asset in any quiz!
