PPA-D1.1		People, events & societies of significance in the past
Describe some features of societies, people and events from the past and suggest why they might be considered significant.	Developing an understanding of distinctive features of life in the past and why certain societies, people and events are regarded as significant.	The main emphasis here is still on describing the features of the society/event, but pupils should be beginning to address the question of why the society/event is considered important. For example, a pupil might describe what happened at the Battle of Culloden, but they should also be able to suggest that this battle was important because it marked the end of the Jacobite rebellions and the beginning of the destruction of the Highland way of life, or a pupil might suggest that Victorian society is regarded as significant because the social conditions at that time led to important reforms.
