He recalls a day, long ago, sitting around an office table with the writer Terry Deary, an editor and art director sketching out plans for a yet to be realised children’s project. It was a bright notion called Horrible Histories. The idea was to package up history in words and drawings in a way that kids would lap-up. How better than to deliver a warts-and-all look at the filth and the fury behind so called civilisation? It would go on to become an astonishing success - first a best-selling series of children’s books and now a BAFTA- laden TV show. This year it won the British Comedy Award for ‘Best Sketch Show’ – the first time a children’s PHOTO: COURTESY OF SCHOLASTIC comedy show has been nominated, it also “We try to slaughter as many sacred cows as possible.” secured a prime Sunday evening slot on BBC1 with Stephen Fry introducing the pinch myself!” he laughs “When I think million copies worldwide and the best sketches from the first two series. back to how it started.

Life in France before the Revolution In 1789, France was one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations in the world. However, the structure of French society was essentially unchanged since the medieval period. The King, Louis XVI, was an absolute monarch, with no permanent Parliament. The aristocracy and the clergy were extremely rich, but paid no taxes. The taxes were paid by the ordinary people, many of them poor peasants doing backbreaking labour. After the American War of Independence, France sank deeply into debt, so with bankruptcy nearing and a bad harvest leading to food shortages, people started to demand change.

Language: English. A depth of lessons almost contained within each chapter of the book. A good, fun and enthusiastic way to teach children about the Romans. Jul 29, Rachel rated it it was amazing Shelves: youngadult , history. Details if other :. But then this book could be treated as a sort of introduction, inspiring the reader to read f History without the boring bits to get kids interested in learning about past civilisations. Book Tickets Atti Croft is a Roman teenager with brains but very little brawn. The humour, information and games in the book offers depth to history as a subject which no other book can do, in my opinion. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Somewhat predictably, the two youngsters from opposite sides of the conflict reach a mutual respect and understanding. Rotten Tomatoes. Please try again. I re-read this as I'm taking an A-level in archaeology and I am studying the Romans, obviously I will read lots of other books on the Romans aimed at adults, but I thought this was a nice place to start. When will my order arrive? I think this book is one of the only books that told me that the greatest and the most stupid things people did.

  • Horrible Histories
    Horrible Histories In our opinion, the Horrible Histories television programmes contain some of the best comic writing out there and Terry Deary’s original books are masterful. They injected bounce into many a lesson, regardless of the class’ age. They also raise questions on the relationship between comedy and historical tragedy. For an energetic and playful start, pair up pupils and ask them to debate which of two historical periods was more ‘horrible’. If you have the books to hold up as you call out, even better! e.g. Vicious Vikings or Stormin’ Normans? or Angry Aztecs or Terrible Tudors? Using some volunteers, perform the stimulus as a piece of Readers’ Theatre (script in hand). Once read, recap on what each character is saying, and let them discuss the different views in small groups: Janey - We wouldn’t want people joking about today’s tragedies, so it’s not fair to joke about the past, Chris – Maybe some things can be joked about, others not Andy – if enough time passes, anything can become fair game, Morgan – Books like Horrible Histories are there to entertain, and we should leave it at that. To let pupils show their initial thinking on each perspective, summarise the views on a pieces of A3 paper and place one in the middle of the room. Tell pupils that to agree with it, they stand closer, and to disagree, they stand further away. You can briefly hear reasons, but try to move to the next one fairly swiftly, and so on. Do they have any other thoughts on this issue? I’ve deliberately excluded mention of black comedy and gallows humour, in the hope pupils will raise these concepts themselves.

  • Irreverence and Play in Shakespearean Adaptations
    Irreverence and Play in Shakespearean Adaptations Edited by Marina Gerzic (The University of Western Australia) and Aidan Norrie (The University of Warwick) Four hundred years after William Shakespeare’s death, his work continues to not only fill playhouses around the world, but also be adapted for various forms of popular culture, including film, television, comics and graphic novels, digital media, and fan cultures. These adaptations introduce a whole new generation of audiences to the work of Shakespeare, and are often fun, playful, engaging, and “irreverent, broadly allusive, and richly reimagined takes on their source material” (Cartelli and Rowe, New Wave Shakespeare on Screen, 2007, 1). Proposals are invited for chapters that engage with the various ways irreverence and play are used in Shakespearean adaptations. Accepted authors will draw out existing humour in Shakespeare works and/or, and as a pedagogical aid used to help explain complex language, themes, and emotions found in Shakespeare’s works, and more generally make Shakespeare ‘relatable’, and entertaining for twenty-first century audiences. Topics could include, but are not limited to: • Irreverence and play in media related to the “Shakespeare 400” celebrations in 2016: e.g. Shakespeare Live! “To Be, or Not to Be” skit; Horrible Histories: ‘Sensational Shakespeare.’ • Irreverence and play in “biographical” Shakespeare adaptations on stage and screen: e.g. Shakespeare in Love (1998); Bill (2015); Something Rotten! (2015); Upstart Crow (2016). • Irreverence and play in Shakespearean adaptations for the theatre: e.g. Andy Griffith's, Just Macbeth!; The Listies’, Hamlet: Prince of Skidmark; Reduced Shakespeare Company; Shit Faced Shakespeare; Something Rotten! • Irreverence and play in Shakespeare adaptations in children's and YA literature: e.g.

  • Ug: Boy Genius of the Stone Age by Raymond Briggs (Red Fox)
    Ug: Boy Genius of the Stone Age by Raymond Briggs (Red Fox) In this multi-layered graphic text the concept of a ‘stone age’ is taken to extremes with everything, including trousers made of stone. The story follows the quest of a Stone Age boy, Ug, in his search for softer trousers. With ideas beyond his time his questioning and inventive mind proves exasperating at times for his parents. This book provides many opportunities for discussion and lots of humour at different levels from the illustrations to the footnotes. Overall aims of this teaching sequence: To engage children with a story told through a mixture of speech and visual imagery To explore themes and issues, and develop and sustain ideas through discussion To develop creative responses to the text through drama, storytelling and artwork To compose writing for a wide variety of purposes To write in role in order to explore and develop empathy for characters This teaching sequence is designed for a Year 3 or Year 4 class. Overview of this teaching sequence This teaching sequence is approximately 4 weeks long if spread out over 20 sessions. If each writing opportunity is fully developed from inception to publication, sessions will need to be extended over more hours or more days to allow for this, thereby extending the number of weeks required to complete. The teaching sequence provides opportunity to explore the interrelationship between words and illustrations in a comic book and how the design and layout of panels on each page support narrative progression. It immerses the children in a fictionalized version of a Stone Age community in which the author plays with our expectations of the era to create humour in both the text and the images.
