USING THIS UNIT
The material in this unit is intended to support students’ work on this course by:
• expanding the course content to provide a more detailed framework for student
study
• providing stimulus material to encourage debate and discussion
• providing source handling exercises appropriate to the course requirements
• making reference to suitable texts.
Teachers may wish to:
• provide an introductory lecture for an aspect of the course, this introduction to be
followed by purposeful note-taking by students investigating the relevant aspect
more fully
• raise a question/problem/issue to be discussed, followed by note-taking, and
concluded with further discussion
• raise an issue for students to explore, given an assigned case to argue, to be
followed by formal debate
• provide stimulus materials in any appropriate form, to be followed by detailed
research of the issue through student note-making
• select essay titles for collaborative planning of an essay outline
• use sources for collaborative work on handling sources effectively.
Sources
It is essential that sources are used regularly and are drawn from all parts of the
course.
Sources should include extracts from the works of historians. Where appropriate,
differing interpretations by historians should be used and the reasons for these
differences carefully considered.
Students’ study of historians’ works should include identifying and describing
historians’ viewpoints.
The student material which follows is structured to:
• provide a framework for the course which students can use to develop more
detailed notes
• raise issues to form the basis for student research and to use for discussion, debate
and essay/practice
• provide a selection of primary sources
• provide appropriate activities.
