How do you teach and talk about Australian history with kids?
This is a bonus episode for teachers, carers and parents featuring Professor Anna Clark and Professor Clare Wright.
Teaching and talking about history with kids can be rewarding and challenging.
From their experience studying and teaching history, Clare and Anna tackle questions like:
How can kids in primary school work with history’s complexity? How can primary students consider the moral lessons of what they're learning? How do you encourage kids when they're interested in history but get some facts wrong? What’s one crucial thing to get across to kids about history?Anna and Clare look at a concern about saying the wrong thing when talking about Australian history, and look at how to do Reconciliation while teaching or talking about history with kids?
And you'll hear why asking questions is an important part of how you talk about history, and how to use primary sources and historical objects to connect kids with the history of our country.
