Showcasing
We showed Think History! to a group of teachers to find out what they thought
of the latest addition to the series, Interactive Presentations 3. They had a lesson
on source analysis looking at cartoons from the cold war.
Here are some of their comments:
“A limited amount of resources were shown but this was good because it enabled
teachers to really get into the complex ideas. There is good pupil involvement (with
progression during the lesson!!) A lively, interactive session. We enjoyed it!” C
