The Inquisitor's palace : teacher's resource book

Abstract

Dear Teacher, Malta has hundreds of historical sites one can visit with school children. Unfortunately up to quite recently there was nothing available awaiting the school parties once they actually arrive, and the full educational potential of these sites was lost. Since the 'Inquisition' is one of the topics to be found in the history syllabus of many of our secondary schools, history teachers often include a visit to the Palace of the Inquisitor as part of their students' learning experience. This teacher resource book involves a number of tasks which students can conduct during their visit at the Inquisitor's Palace. It is very important for teachers to read this booklet before the actual visit. Each learning objective behind the particular activity is explained and one is advised on the materials students need to bring with them to be able to carry out the task. There are also instructions for teachers and suggestions as regards actual class management on site and follow up activities that students can do once they return to school. Whilst thanking you for your attention, we look forward to seeing you with your students at the Inquisitor's Palace soon.
