Teacher Area

This site is being developed as an aid to teaching History Unit 4 (Year 7)
How did the medieval church affect people's lives?

A suggested scheme of work, with objectives, outcomes and activities can be found at the DfES Standards Site : http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/secondary_history/

Other sites that are of use in developing this topic include :

The official church website for Kirk of Calder : http://www.kirkofcalder.com

Gazetteer for Scotland : http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/councils/councildetails29.html

A History of the Church in Scotland : http://www.scottishchristian.com/othercat/history.html

The Post-Reformation Church in Scotland : http://website.lineone.net/~davghalgh/churchhistory.html

Note : this site is being developed especially in terms of the ways that pupils can interact with online material. Dreamweaver was used to programme the site and the learning-curve is rather steep !

The INSIDE guide to the church is an mpeg file and will take rather a long time to load if your school does not have broadband access.

Please feel free to get in touch with any advice or commments about ways in which the site can be developed for classroom use.
