  16. Student Charter • What is a charter? • In your pairs, make a list of what makes a good student of History. Produce at least 6 promises you want to keep to ensure you reach your full potential and get the most out of your History lessons. We will use these ideas to create a class charter. I promise to hand in my homework on time, or get a note in my planner if there is a problem.

  17. Why should we study history? • Read all the different reasons why it is important to study history. • Put them in rank order, with your most important reason at the top, and least important at the bottom. •  Try and come up with your own reason why it is important to study history and put it in your ranking. • Discuss your answers with your partner and see if this changes your mind before you stick them down. • Write a sentence in your book explaining why you have put your chosen reason at the top.
