  1. ‘What was the greatest invention of the C20th?’ Doing Significance with Key Stage 2.

  2. Key Stage 2 History: Knowledge, skills and understanding Chronological understanding Knowledge and understanding of events, people and changes in the past Historical interpretation Historical enquiry Organisation and communication Breadth of study A local history study Three British history studies A European history study A world history study

  3. Historical Significance • Considering the significance of events, people and developments at the time and in the present day.

  4. Key concept 1.5 Significance • This includes: • considering why something might have been thought important at the time and not now; • Why something might be thought very important now, but not at the time; • and • identifying the reasons used to decide if something is significant;

  5. Key concept 1.5 Significance

  6. APP: AF2 - Exploring Interpretations L3: …….compare different ways in which people have represented an event or person….

  7. Using criteria – Christine Counsell’s model • An event/development is significant if: • Remarkable – it was remarked upon by people at the time and/or since • Remembered – it was important at some stage in history within the collective memory of a group or groups • Resulted in change – it had consequences for the future • Resonant– people like to make analogies with it; it is possible to connect with experiences, beliefs or situations across time & space • Revealing – of some other aspect of the past

  8. Using criteria – Partington’s model What makes an event significant is dependent upon the following factors: 1. Importance – to people living at the time 2. Profundity – how deeply people’s lives were affected by it 3. Quantity – how many lives were affected 4. Durability – for how long people’s lives were affected 5. Relevance – the extent to which the event has contributed to an increased understanding of present life

  9. Using criteria – Ian Dawson’s model • Reasons for an invention being significant. If it: • changed events at the time it was invented. • improved lots of people’s lives – or made them worse. • changed people’s ideas. • had a long lasting effect on their country or on the world.

  10. What are your criteria?

  11. Explore some of the Inventions of the C20th As a whole group, explore some of the inventions of the C20th and their impact on everyday life. Why have some made an impact, and some not done so?

  12. Inventions for Good, and Inventions for Bad? In small groups, research and investigate some of these inventions, and try to categorise them into ‘good’ and ‘bad.’ Make a short presentation to the whole group about your findings.

  13. As individuals select your ‘top three’ inventions. What criteria will you choose? Once you have justified your choice, present your ideas to the whole group in any way you feel is appropriate.

  14. medical… hearing aid, 1923 MRI scanner 1977 pacemaker 1960 Polio vaccine 1955 cloning 1997 insulin 1921 IVF 1977 antibiotics 1928 birth control pill 1951

  15. the world of work computer 1948 floppy disc 1971 transistor radio 1953 credit cards 1950 tv 1925 internet 1969 mobile phone microchip 1958 video recorder 1956 talking movies 1927 photocopier 1938 assembly line 1908

  16. travel…. aeroplane 1903 satellite 1957 space travel 1961 jet engine 1930 helicopter 1936

  17. warfare sub machine gun 1920 atom bomb 1945 napalm 1942 tank 1915

  18. consumer goods…. 1946 1904 1920 1938 1913 1964 1924 1946 1965 1926 1947 1935 1901 1913 1930 1979 1907 1926 1936 1948

  19. nuclear power….

  20. An invention for the 21st Century In small groups design and build an invention for the 21st Century. Plenary: In three minutes, ‘sell’ your invention to the rest of the group.

  21. SOME EXAMPLES OF SIGNIFICANCE QUESTIONS

  22. historical significance • You need to: - • use criteria to make judgements on historical significance, • devise their own criteria, • understand, and then explain, that using different criteria can lead to different judgements, • understand, and then explain, that asking different historical questions can lead to different judgements, • explore how judgements on historical significance have varied across different periods, • recognise, and then explain, that holding different values leads to different judgements.
