History is the study of the past in order to understand the present. This course is about significant trends in history and how people remember and interpret the past differently. Skills developed include primary-based research and analysis of various versions of history. Students will continue to evaluate different perspectives including their own and those of historians and will extend their critical thinking and essay writing. The theme for learning is empire. A high level of literacy is required. Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua. I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past.
