How to write and speak like a historian

I think I'll write a more detailed blog post at some point regarding this, but yesterday I tweeted my new display which encourages students to extend their vocabulary with things like causation, adding evidence and avoiding the 1st person.

Using @missgeog92  's idea of the 'Hello, my name is...' badges, I put together the display. Linked below are both the PowerPoint and PDF version of the display (The font in 'Submarine Beach'- you won't need to download if you use the PDF, but can download or change the font on the ppt). 100 Women PDF 100 Women PPT (Please excuse the rough edge on the board- need to order border roll on 1st September!)
