Teaching Methods
Last updated: 5th September 2019
The Nuffield Primary History project has developed a range of approaches and techniques for doing history with children.
For each of these there is a description - see the list below - with a list of lessons and short lesson exemplars using this approach.
We also have short lesson exemplars of the methods, plus video and audio files of some of the methods in action.
