Shettleston: Our History 2
Aims, Experiences, Outcomes and Benchmarks
Aims
The learning in this pack sits within the Social Studies area of the Curriculum for Excellence. The particular aspects of learning in the Social Studies to which the pack contributes are to:
- Develop my understanding of the history, heritage and culture of Scotland, and an appreciation of my local and national heritage within the world;
- Explore and evaluate different types of sources and evidence;
- Learn how to locate, explore and link periods, people and events in time and place.
Experiences and Outcomes (people, past events and societies)
The learning pack is designed in particular for delivery with children at the second stage of Curriculum for Excellence, so generally from P5 to P7, but earlier or later for some.
The specific experiences of outcomes (and their Curriculum for Excellence “code”) are noted below:
- I can use primary and secondary sources selectively to research events in the past (SOC 2-01a).
- I can interpret historical evidence from a range of periods to help to build a picture of Scotland’s heritage and my sense of chronology (SOC 2-02a)..
- I can investigate a Scottish historical theme to discover how past events or the actions of individuals or groups have shaped Scottish society (SOC 2-03a)..
- I can compare and contrast a society in the past with my own and contribute to a discussion of the similarities and differences (SOC 2-04a)..
- I can discuss why people and events from a particular time in the past were important, placing them within a historical sequence (SOC 2-06a).
