High School History Recap
The High School History Recap podcast was started by two passionate teachers from South Africa who realised the value of taking history teaching and learning beyond the confines of the textbook and classroom. Their recipe includes constructive conversations with learners and experts alike. William and Colin investigate topics covered in most history classrooms but also ask questions about how best to teach and learn these topics. They cover the "what to teach", "how to teach", "how we learn", and "thinking tools" of history teaching and learning. Find them on any podcast player platform like Apple or Spotify. Let's share the love for history. Find us on Twitter @WilliamHPalk or @C_duPlessis. Our email address is highschoolhistoryrecap@gmail.com.

Episode 43
In this episode, Michael and I discuss historical knowledge skills. Michael is the creator of the historyskills.com website which contains excellent lessons for the history classroom. History knowledge skills include chronology, change and continuity, causes and consequences, significance, and motives and historical empathy. It's vital for history students to understand these very important knowledge skills, which are often central to assessments. Be sure to listen to the other two episodes on source criticism and research as well. Follow History Skills on twitter @HistorySkills.
