This paper describes an ongoing research project I am currently undertaking involving the creation of history teaching resources for onsite activities. Unfortunately, until recently, museums and places of historic interest in Malta did not cater for school children. There have been several innovations as far as tourist guides, pamphlets, DVDs and video recordings of historical sites are concerned but more often than not these are not appropriate for secondary and primary school children. I will explain the process and development of this research in particular for the case of the Inquisitor’s Palace at Vittoriosa, Tarxien Pre-Historic Temples at Tarxien and the Domus Romana at Rabat. There will also be an explanation regarding the intergration of history thinking skills within this project. |
