\u2022 The following list provides important anniversaries that could be commemorated in 2010.
\n\u2022 It can be used by teachers preparing assemblies, extension tasks and one-off lessons.
\n\u2022 I am limiting the list to multiples of 50 years (1960 (50 years ago today), 1910 (100 years ago today), 1860 (150 years ago today) etc).
\n\u2022 This is more meaningful than the “on this day in history” format (there is a 1\/365 chance that any event from the entire history of civilisation has a 1\/365 chance it happened “today”!)
\n\u2022 If you’d like to add to this list, please contact me with your suggestion or send a tweet using the hashtag #history2010.<\/p>\n
