150 Great History Projects
Authors: Struan Reid (Editor)
Synopsis: This is a bumper collection
of model-making, costume and recipe projects that can be done at home or
in the classroom. They provide hours of creative fun and give amazing
insights into history at the same time. The instructions and
step-by-step photographs are easy to follow, the materials used are
inexpensive and easy to find. All of the projects are inspired by
authentic artefacts, buildings, clothes and food, and drawn from key
cultures around the world. By doing them, readers should pick up
information about the skills and styles of different civilizations. Some
projects, such as all of the recipes, or the patchwork cushion, can be
actually be put to practical use. Others can contribute to some
interesting fancy dress, while some models are simply ornamental. Each
project, however, has an important learning point about human history.
The projects are arranged thematically to reflect different aspects of
everyday life, such as fashion, transport, or entertainment. The
introduction to each thematic section sets the scene for the projects
that follow and background information describes the skills and crafts
of the past. The book enhances National Curriculum history at Key Stage
2 teaching.
