72. For such a celebrated site, Stonehenge has
seen a surprising amount of upheaval over
recent years. The tense stand-offs between
solstice-goers and police have been replaced
by a fresh controversy over the alleged
mismanagement of the World Heritage site.
Hemmed in by busy roads and wire barricades,
jammed with visitors throughout the summer,
and underscored by a cacophony of roaring
traffic, it's a long way from the haven of peace
and spiritual tranquillity most visitors expect to
find, and was even described by one
government department as a 'national
disgrace'. Thankfully, plans are afoot to
reinvent the Stonehenge experience.
Lonely Planet, 2008.

Assessing enquiry - Stonehenge
73. ‘ If Stonehenge be then, as it is, a
universal curiosity, for us Englishmen it is
one of the three things in our island –
the other two are Land’s End and
Hadrian’s Wall – which each of us must
see once in his life; it is a place of
pilgrimage very sympathetic to this age,
for Stonehenge is the shrine of an
unknown God.
...it stands wholly within the shadow,
over the horizon not only of history, but
of legend, an aloof and inexplicable
thing rising from the plain between the
sky and the grass...’
The Highways and Byways of Britain.
David Milner.
‘Things had changed at Stonehenge
since I was last there in the early
seventies. They’ve built a smart new gift
shop and coffee bar, though there is still
no interpretation centre, which is
entirely understandable. This is, after
all, merely the most important
prehistoric monument in Europe and
one of the dozen most visited tourist
attractions in England, ....’

And we are the dreamer of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

aims
Not to take this literally, but learning should be an adventure and sometimes in order to have an adventure, things need to be difficult. Our pupils struggled with the social skills, confidence, work skills. Google Earth and other online maps are part of bringing that adventure in to the classroom as we study real places and explore the real world.
Don’t reinvent the wheel. Collaboration.
Remember that there is no one answer to teaching – everything is a tool in the box and our job as teachers is to select the most appropriate tools
Post it notes, random name generator. To share. Why draw – right brain thinking
Ofsted – without strong enquiry standards are difficult to achieve at GCSE and A’Level, especially with the move toward Controlled Assessment. Key Stage 3 is the foundation of success at GCSE and A-Level – enquiry is a life skill
Enquiry – key processes 2.1
Thanks to L Mulhall, Priory School
Young people need to make informed decisions
How would you support a Primary Research activity?
Enquiry at Priory – Use a random object – come up with 10 enquiry questions. Take along A3 charts
Closed, structures and open enquiry – progression, sheets. GCSE controlled assessment is an enquiry – now need to do it independently with 2009 GCSE changes.Progression.
PGCE’ers to describe the place. Asking questions. Geographical Detectives.

What enquiry questions could young people ask about this?
Asking questions. Activity with delegates
Asking questions and listening
How would we investigate this question? Who is it aimed at? Post It ideas. Use Google Earth to show how enquiry can be supported using GIS

Making a statement about space – what might an outside visitor think?
Favourite image – during the reflection stage of the lesson, pupils realised that they had been thinking about space in a different way – they chose features that they were unhappy about, or thought were great. So what do we do with this energy
What do pupils want to know? Pupil voice and how to incorporate it into the enquiry process, GCSE choice – curriculum co-contruction
Here pupils have used Google Earth to create placemarks that show that Portsmouth has changed.
How could we introduce enquiry to meet these needs – how long would we need? What level?

2. Use twitter to make case studies ‘Living’.Following various celebrities via Twitter. GCSE case study. What on earth is he on about? Using the GCSE textbooks to find information. Pupils had to create 6 140 character tweets in order to reply to Stephen. Reducing the text book. ‘Tweets’ can be used to create case study answers. Better than taking notes or answering textbook questions. The internet turns up 113,000 hits for ‘palm oil borneo’. Textbooks have carefully selected information that is relavant to the specification. Ideal for no ICT access as the tweet was supplied by myself.
Primary, secondary, tertiary – Ice axe. What we wear, palm oil
