Oxford Primary History Studies Student Book 1 Color

At this introductory stage, the book bridges the gap between a child’s personal experiences and the broader concept of history. Understanding the Concept of Time: Students learn to define “history” as the study of the past. Personal History: Early units focus on things the child can directly relate to, such as how they have changed over time, how they have stayed the same, and looking at timelines of their own lives. Analyzing Evidence: Children are introduced to historical sources in an age-appropriate way. For example, they look at photographs—comparing older black-and-white images to modern color photos—to hunt for clues about how life used to be. Helen Crawford Pat Lunt Aaron Wilkes (Series Editor)
