| Learning Strategies: |
|---|
This course will include a range of teaching and learning styles. There will be a focus on engaging with primary sources and assesing both their strengths and weaknesses. This will involve students working with the local RSA, and a trip to the Auckland museum. Students will also be asked to present their findings in an oral presentation at key points of the course because history is about differences of opinion and debates. The course is designed to build on the key skills and concepts covered in year 9 & 10 social studies.

| Main Areas of Study: |
|---|
This course will allow students to understand that human societies in the past - both distant and more recent- share a number of fundamental similarities and experiences. Students will explore the ways that power has been exercised in the past, including diverse experiences and the effects of power on the creation of historical narratives. There is also an emphasis on exploring perspectives and key concepts that run throughout the learning matrix for History. Case studies such as the Liberation of Le Quesnoy or The Springbok Tour will center on the theme of power, people and protest.
