Gary Clemitshaw describes a five-lesson sequence integrating history, citizenship and ICT. He examines the varied rationales and problems underlying a citizenship-history link and then argues for the role of the local dimension in securing a connection that preserves the integrity of the discipline of history. He focuses upon causation as well as weighing change and development over time, using these concepts to make pupils historically curious about their local community. Starting with a strong idea of what constitutes valid, worthwhile and significant historical questions, Gary also shows how pupils were taught to construct their own questions and to use a range of resources to pursue them.
