NCEA Level 2 History
Course Description
Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Mr B. Silk.
Through the study of history students will develop skills in research, interpretation, evaluation, empathy and analysis; vital skills for your next stage in education. You will also be encouraged to examine each event/time period we study to evaluate its significance to New Zealand society today. In particular, you should consider how much these events have shaped your life and you may not have even realised it!
You will become an Historian not just a student of history, you will work on your own research topic looking at the causes and consequences of a significant event. This independent project will be built around three tasks - Planning, Conducting and Evaluating your own historical research.
This will be followed by a study on the Rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany This study will be used for an internal assessment on the perspectives of two sides of a historical argument and the development, justification and actions of each. This topic will also be the main focus of the external exams in November.
