'Interpretation in Action' follows the programme 'Critical Analysis', looking at an in-depth study of World War One. The pupils are at the end of a six-lesson series and they are critically analysing different evidence. The challenge they now face is to use their analysis skills to plan, organise and write their own historical interpretation in the form of a documentary presentation. After a lesson on documentary styles from the teacher, the pupils divide into production groups to select evidence for their productions, cross-referencing different source material, writing their scripts, selecting music and developing the style of their presentations. One of the group presents their production to parents' evening. This programme is focused on the pupils, their discussions and their work. It shows the progression that has been achieved by the depth study at the level of both conceptual development and historical understanding.
