FROM SPONGES TO SIEVES

A teaching-learning experience of the Cambridge IGCSE History syllabus

Why focus on only one perspective? Authentic communication occurs when each person can imagine the other’s point of view. That imagining must be creative if we are to deeply understand each other. Then integrating our varied perspectives results in an increased ability to assess critically. This book outlines ideas and reflections on my experience of teaching the Cambridge IGCSE History syllabus and contains some samples I wrote to prepare my students for the exam sessions from 2022 to 2025. CLIL History teachers may find this book helps to reflect on the learner-centred approach. History students in Italian language classes may benefit from quickly revising the final year topics for the esame di stato or at university.
