Précis

Students have to create a poster, timeline and presentation work using various sources and activities available (teachers can choose which they'd like to use)

Curriculum Relevance

History → Local History Study → Significant Historical Events in Locality

Implementation

This is a follow-up resource to be completed in the classroom post- visit. This task can be introduced before the visit to Blackgang Chine Theme Park so students are aware of the need to focus on historical aspects they may see, in order to form ideas for their response. The tasks can be integrated into lessons at any stage. Students will produce an informative poster that gives information about the history of the park but also explains what they did there, and enjoyed. Students break down the task into parts, decide who is going to do what, use resources (or further research on-line) to get the information they need, then produce the poster. They could use I.T. if appropriate. Produce the poster.

Key Skills Practised

• Getting information from a variety of sources
• Applying knowledge gained on the visit to explain sources
• Speaking/listening/negotiating the completion of the task.
