Westlake Boys High School
Year 11 History - Extension
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Gardiner.
Year 11 History Extension
This course focuses on conflict and change. We explore the Crusades, Palestine - Israel, and a selection of New Zealand related topics. These may include topics such as the Nuclear Free Movement and the Dawn Raids. By analysing both international and local events, we are better able to make sense of the world, both in the past and present. We further develop critical thinking, research skills, and the ability to create a convincing argument through independent inquiry and source analysis. Students will be extended through historical debate and discussion that sees history as an interpretation rather than only a series of events.
