This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History teacher skills resources. It helps build teacher confidence in using artefacts effectively to promote questioning, interpretation, and a deeper understanding of the past.
This History teacher skills video explores how to teach complex substantive concepts such as empire, peasantry, and monarchy in meaningful and accessible ways. Using examples from units on the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Vikings, it demonstrates how placing abstract ideas like invasion and settlement in historical contexts helps pupils make sense of these concepts. The video offers guidance on using definitions, chronological understanding, and contextual comparisons to deepen conceptual knowledge.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s History teacher skills resources. It supports teachers in confidently introducing abstract historical concepts across Key Stage 2, ensuring pupils develop a secure and nuanced understanding over time.
