The Social Subjects and RME faculty consulted with a group of S2 pupils to consider how to improve homework.  The aim was to engage and challenge pupils to improve the quality of homework and compete with the new video games and social networking sites and show pupils that homework was not boring.  It was decided that offering pupils a choice from a range of creative activities would help pupils become more confident, encourage pupils to solve real problems and to take responsibility.

Many pupils created trench warfare models, timelines and recruitment posters which involved research skills, placing events in chronological order and applying their knowledge creatively.
