This will give a list of those themes which are especially suitable for a particular group and which may directly support units from the DFES Schemes of Work. Several of these themes have specially tailored resources for teachers and their pupils, including glossaries and worksheets. In addition, the Teacher's resources page at the end of individual themes should provide ideas for creating new activities in relation to the material and sources.

National Curriculum

More generally, because each theme is broken down into small pages, which usually study events in the order in which they occurred, the themes can promote chronological understanding. 'Timeline' themes, where available, further support this. The digitised archive resources have been selected to be interesting, challenging and diverse. They should encourage historical enquiry and enable pupils to find out about events, people and changes from an appropriate range of sources. The worksheets and quizzes offer pre-prepared ways of engaging pupils in organisation and communication of material.
