Suggested end products that may work well as “plenaries”
These examples help history departments to think about the range of opportunities
that they can provide for pupils to communicate their understanding of history. They
provides possible end products that departments can use when planning for a range
of outcomes across the key stage.
Across Key Stage 3, pupils should have opportunities to engage in enquiries that
produce a range of real and creative end products. This will enable pupils to
appreciate the range of ways in which historians, archaeologists and others with an
interest in history communicate their passion for the subject to a range of audiences.
In planning for a rich mixture of creative end-products it is helpful to maintain a
balance between oral, written and visual outcomes; although, in practice, many endproducts will contain elements of each. When selecting an appropriate end-product
for a particular enquiry, it is important to ensure that the outcome will challenge
pupils by requiring them to select, analyse, explain, argue or debate.
