Hello to all members of All Empires Forum -we at Sky Atlantic wanted to get in touch to let you know about some digital activity we've just launched to support The British, which we think you and your readers/followers might be interested in.
The British is a landmark 7 part history series which starts at 9pm on Sky Atlantic. To support it, we've launched the following content online:
The 'Ultimate' British History Quiz
Tweeting History
Users can relive some key moments from British History in real time, via Twitter. We are covering the worst night of the Blitz, Amy Johnson's flight, the Great Fire of London and the Battle of Trafalgar. We've also visualised the events on The British website, with archive photos and links to primary resources
And two elements launching today are an interactive timeline, with in-depth video clips and alternative historian commentaries, and educational resources, so that teachers can use the series as a springboard into lesson plans. Both will be available from The British homepage:
We hope you find these interesting - please do feel free to spread the word to your followers!
