History you can investigate
Print-and-go mini-packs help grades 4–6 learners look closely at historical sources, make careful claims, and ask what still needs checking.
Current printable packs
Each guide is fictional and clearly labelled. The historical claims come from the sources, not the characters.
Scotland · Grades 4–6
A 14-page A4 mini-pack with three lessons about following evidence, making careful claims, and leaving room for questions. Learners explore a battlefield record, an archive catalogue, and a later story about William Wallace.
Fiction note: William Walrus is a history-hopping sidekick, not William Wallace.
Ancient Egypt · Grades 4–6
A 15-page A4 mini-pack with three lessons: examine the Rosetta Stone, compare sources about Cleopatra VII, and explore how later writers shape historical memory.
Fiction note: CleoCATra is a history-hopping sidekick, inspired by Cleopatra VII but not Cleopatra, and never evidence for her life.
