 * Steps: **** What are some steps that I have (or plan) to take to enable this? **
 * worked with the RE team to move the assesmsent awy from a straight 'research and regurgitate' talk to a questin that allows students to make an evaluation / give input and draw conclusions based on their reserach
 * spoken to one of the History teachers at school to try and get some ideas from a person who has more expertise then me//
