So… on a day that the BBC is raising millions for Children in Need (which we shouldn’t need if the state could offer the right support) The President of The United States has confirmed he intends to sue the corporation for a billion. For the broadcast of HIS OWN WORDS. Madness.

Just listened. What a fantastic evocation of what needs to be done to weave women into existing topics, inspire with stories of resilience and get local women into curriculum. As always with @reteach_uk, the examples are there! Thanks @bones_carmel Kate Moses & @SashaL_Smith.
https://t.co/LcoVGf5J2Y Please listen 🎧 we love your feedback. Important episode @SashaL_Smith Kate Mosse @reteach_uk 🙌🏻

What has happened...what is happening at the BBC? In normal times you might be forgiven for dismissing that question as naval gazing by journalists who can't resist talking about themselves. In normal times I'd be inclined to agree with you. These, though, are not normal times.

Hi @dcsandbrook. I was thinking of taking the family to Denmark. Where is the museum that you’ve spoken about on @TheRestHistory before?

Final complex thinking on scope. War, death and plague, the fourteenth century had it all! This quote from @HelenhCarr new book clearly demonstrates the scope of the Black Death.

This complex thinking poster is for People. This quote @dcsandbrook demonstrates how events in the past are experienced differently. The way that it clarifies connection as well as contrast in the same passage is so elegant. A great example to inspire students own writing.

Another Complex Thinking poster. Frequency is such a good way to lens to articulate the acceleration, regularity and absence of a factor. I also love this quote from @peterfrankopan because it links to our climate history SOW. @RoyalHistSoc @1972SHP @histassoc

Another Complex Thinking poster. Time, uses a great quote from "Leftovers" by @eleanorrbarnett to demonstrate change over time, which demonstrates progress in technology. Up in classrooms soon.

Stage two of the complex thinking project is to have examples from historians own work to demonstrate to students what these look like. Here is the poster for “Contrast” using @Sathnam work from Empireland. Feedback sought again please @olicav @teacherhead @mrfitzhist

No better way to have spent Trafalgar day than listening to the superb Nelson series on @TheRestHistory. Superb work from @dcsandbrook and @holland_tom. Surely it should be a national holiday?
