Course selection for 2019 is now finished.
Course Description
Curriculum Leader: Miss J. Foster.
History is about our relationship with the past and how it affects our present. Students will work with primary sources to see how historical narratives are shaped. They will also consider how historical events are significant to our collective identity and memory.
The contexts in Year 11 History will be broad, ranging from the Black Civil Rights Movement to a comparative unit about indigenous rights in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
There will also be a trip to the Auckland War Memorial Museum as part of a unit on the New Zealand home front during the World Wars.
15 credits will be offered in Level 1.
Two internal assessments, worth 5 credits each, will be done during the first two terms.
Term 3 will be dedicated to preparing for the externally assessed examination, that students will sit at the end of the year.
Internal credits: 10 External credits: 5 Total: 15 credits
History equips students with the research, writing and critical thinking skills that would be beneficial for career pathways such as journalism, marketing and communications, law, policy and education.
