A new report from the UK has found students are being ill-served by ‘a curriculum which does not give them a “chronological understanding” of the subject.’
History teaching fails to give pupils proper view of the past, says watchdog:
The Ofsted report said many primary and secondary pupils are being let down by a curriculum which does not give them a “chronological understanding” of the subject …
Schoolchildren fail to grasp how events in history are linked because the subject is taught in “episodes”, an official report has warned….
A “fundamental weakness” in primary schools was that some teachers “did not teach to establish a clear mental map of the past for pupils”.
One reason “The Legend of the Great Horse” trilogy is a worthwhile read is its exploration of history in chronological order — with time lines before each new era — as it traces the development in horsemanship in civilization.
The books of the trilogy convey accurate history in a fun and engaging story … the books give readers solid overview of history as they ride along with an exceptionally well-written and intelligent literary tale. (For ages 14 and up)
