Description
The World School History Project has put together a structured lesson framework that asks students to compare how two different nations teach the same historical period. Students get familiar with each country's curriculum narrative, investigate key figures and events against external sources, discuss the themes each narrative constructs, and then work through a set of comparative questions that bring both accounts into dialogue. The materials are grounded in published research on curriuclum materials, history textbooks and curriculum design, but are designed for secondary school students without specialist prior knowledge. To get a feel for what we're offering, download this sample pack focused on how China and Japan treat the 1930–1950 period in their curricula: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1We_rPaXPiq_Sn7-V0sLaff1qXzpPxspx/view?usp=sharing We are looking for schools and teachers to pilot this approach, either as a workshop or a course of lessons.
