Malta has hundreds of historical sites one can visit with school children.
Unfortunately up to quite recently there was nothing available awaiting the
school parties once they actually arrive, and the full educational potential of these sites was lost.
Since the ‘Inqusition’ is one of the topics to be found in the history syllabus of many of our secondary schools, history teachers often
include a visit to the Palace of the Inquisitor as part of their students’ learning experience. This teacher resource book involves a number
of tasks which students can conduct during their visit at the Inquisitor’s Palace. It is very important for teachers to read this booklet
before they actually visit. Each learning objective behind the particular activity is explained and one is advised on the materials students
need to bring with them to be capable to carry out the task. There are also instructions for teachers and suggestions as regards actual
class management on site and follow up activities that students can do once they return to school. This document can be purchased from
Heritage Malta or on site at the Inquisitor's Palace |
