In The History Lessons, historian and teacher Shalina Patel takes the reader through the History curriculum that her students experience today, as they learn history from Year 7 to Year 9 (when it is compulsory for us all). It will be a chronological journey through the familiar – the classic backdrops of Medieval Britain, the Tudors and the World Wars – but will differ in dynamic and transformative ways. It will serve as a history handbook of sorts, giving readers from all walks of life a deeper and wider view of history, shaped by Patel’s ongoing research, and in a style inspired by her pedagogical expertise on how we learn best.
