Abstract
This paper discusses practical approaches that enable students to appreciate how individual historical events connect to form meaningful patterns and relationships. Through lesson examplesi and samples of student responses, this paper foregrounds the benefits of teaching for conceptual understanding and how it deepens historical understanding. While recognising challenges in adopting such pedagogy, the authors highlight the value of teaching conceptually as part of a four-year process and how it can be enacted through intentional lesson design to aid student understanding and cultivate a culture of inquiry in the everyday History classroom.
