Description:

The Understanding History series has been extensively revised and updated to provide full factual coverage of all the historical Themes and Topics contained in the Current Junior Secondary History syllabus. It also provides detailed guidance on how learners can develop a wide range of historical skills and abilities. The vivid and readable way in which the Understanding History series is written stimulates learners to go on reading.

The special Did you Know? feature, for example, deals in a lively fashion with the historical significance of a wide range of relevant subjects. The text is supported by carefully chosen source materials. These include photographs, maps and cartoons with detailed captions; oral and written extracts from a variety of historical sources; and a range of explanatory charts and diagrams.

A wide range of learner activities and projects first helps learners to establish a basic level of knowledge and understanding, and then encourages and guides them to explore attitudes and form opinions for themselves. Learners are given detailed guidance, often with examples, on how best to communicate what they have learned in a clear and accurate manner. In this way, the new Understanding History series enables learners to experience a progressive increase in knowledge, understanding and skills that continues throughout their studies.
