11HIS

Level 1 History

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Besley.

History provides an opportunity for learners to understand how the past has shaped and influenced our understanding of both ourselves and the world around us. In the past, people have challenged society and what has been “normalised” to make changes for the better.

 
You will learn about what caused society to be the way it was and what caused the challenges by people and groups. You will learn about the effects of these events on people at the time and since and how these events have been viewed by the people involved.

 
History prepares learners for the future because it equips them with knowledge and skills, such as the ability to effectively communicate ideas and make them clear to others. We will also explore the importance of belonging and being connected to both people and place, as well as the importance of having a place to stand, where people feel secure, safe, respected, and accepted for who they are.


Key topics that we will explore include the American Civil Rights Movement, the 1975 Land March, and the New Zealand Suffrage Movement. 

All of the standards in this course contribute towards literacy.
