Historical Elements Assignment
The first assignment that the groups carried out was about Historical elements. These are generally known as 'types of history' e.g. social history, political history, economic history, cultural history etc. The assignment required group members to research a topic of history they are interested in, and then to try and define what types of history can be found within the topic.
