History mysteries : innovative thinking skills activities for KS3

History Mysteries: Innovative thinking skills activities for KS3 is a brand new teaching resource from Chris Kington Publishing that brings history lessons to life.

Through mysteries students act as detectives, piecing together what happened in the past.

This exciting way of learning helps students to empathise with historical characters and situations and enriches their understanding of past events.

At the same time they practise the six personal, learning and thinking skills (PLTS) outlined in the KS3 curriculum: independent enquirers, creative thinkers, reflective learners, team workers, self managers, effective participants.
