High School History Recap
The High School History Recap podcast was started by two passionate teachers from South Africa who realised the value of taking history teaching and learning beyond the confines of the textbook and classroom. Their recipe includes constructive conversations with learners and experts alike. William and Colin investigate topics covered in most history classrooms but also ask questions about how best to teach and learn these topics. They cover the "what to teach", "how to teach", "how we learn", and "thinking tools" of history teaching and learning. Find them on any podcast player platform like Apple or Spotify. Let's share the love for history. Find us on Twitter @WilliamHPalk or @C_duPlessis. Our email address is highschoolhistoryrecap@gmail.com.

Episode 7
In this bonus episode, we talk to Paul Ludi who did his master's thesis on Jan Smuts. Smuts can be considered one of the main founders of the country of South Africa; yet he rarely gets any significant attention in contemporary high school history books. Here we consider his real legacy: his academic brilliance and statesmanship, but also his segregationist attitude. What were his views on race, and in which way was he merely a product of his generation. To comment, please visit us on twitter @WilliamHPalk.
