Remedial activity
Discuss with classmates what is happening in an interesting photograph. Is there anything in the photograph that we would not find in our local area? Do the people’s clothing and the buildings differ from ours? Why did the photographer take this photograph? Is something special happening? What can we tell about the people and the place that has been photographed?
Unit 2 Learning about the history of a local area Learner’s Book page 27
Unit introduction
• How can we find out about the past? In this unit, we show learners how to list important events from their own lives chronologically. They then share some of these events with the class; thereby learning how some remembered events are further back in time than others.
• Much information from the past is available in writing, in libraries. Special places called ‘archives’ exist for storing old books and letters.
• We can get information from pictures or photographs. We can learn about people from the past by looking at the things they did, the clothes they wore and the buildings they lived in. We can even learn about them by looking at the way they acted towards each other and towards animals in the photographs.
• We can find out about the past by talking to and listening carefully to older people. • Lastly, objects from the past have special meaning and tell a story about things that
happened long ago. These objects are often valuable because they would be expensive to replace, but they are also very valuable to their owners because of the story they tell of a family or a people’s history.
Teaching ideas and tips
Explain to learners that we can learn about the history of a local area in several ways: by looking at pictures from long ago; by reading about events from books and letters that are stored in libraries, in special archives; by talking to older people and listening carefully to their stories; and by thinking deeply about the objects that show us how people lived in the past.
