History - what is the point?

What is the point of History? Can anything be learnt from the past?
This is a Level 5/6 question

You should chose a selection of Historical events and explore what we can learn from them. Do you think those potential lessons have been learned? How and where? Have some been repeated? Why do you think this is?




Your wow answer might take this further – as well as looking at what we can learn from looking at the past, what do you think people of the future might learn from looking back at us when we are history? This takes your thinking to the higher levels of creativity and evaluation.






The Rubric below is an example of how you might start to plan this work.

  1. It's Kate from 7R. I am doing the History question and I am researching important things that we have learnt from it such as the Huskar Disaster. Has anybody else got any other ideas?
