HISTORY - Full Year

“The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves,” (Cicero).

History studies not only what happened in the past, but how and why these stories and events continue to be told over time. Level 1 History students will examine primary source evidence, consider why certain historical events are significant and explore different perspectives on events.  The contexts for the year are:

• New Zealand at War - New Zealand’s involvement in World War II overseas as well as how World War II impacted New Zealand at home.

• Black Civil Rights - the campaign to end segregation in the United States from the 1950s to the 1970s

• Future pathways: HIS21F, CLS21F
