Level 1 History - NZ Significant Historical Events

This Semester Course will focus on Historical Events of significance to New Zealanders.  Topics will include the Treaty of Waitangi, 1840;  the Maori Land March, 1975;  Bastion Point, 1977-1978;  the Springbok Tour, 1981 and the Dawn Raids of the 1970's.  You will choose one of these Case Studies to base your assessments on this semester.  History develops research and communication skills such as the ability to examine, select and record information and ideas, as well as to present findings effectively in written, visual and oral forms.  History focuses on critical evaluation and encourages students to think perceptively and insightfully about events, perspectives and actions in the past.  The learning that will take place in this course is in preparation for the TWO INTERNAL Assessments that you will be sitting during the Semester. 

NOTE: ONE of the two Internal assessments offered is a co-requisite standard (worth 5 credits) that can count towards your 'Literacy' credits.
