2HIS - Level 2 History
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs N. Crawford, Ms A. King.
This course provides an introduction to early modern history. The focus is on social history and the development of people's rights. Our second topic is the Prohibition era; gangsters, flappers and speakeasies! For each of these topics we will discuss the significance for New Zealand. There is an individual research assessment which is led by student interest and choice.
Level 2 History is a literacy-rich course which allows students to gain their UE reading and writing credits. It is an endorsable subject and a pathway to Level 3 History, which is a UE approved subject. History students explore historical events, causes and consequences, significance and perspectives. They develop important skills such as processing and analysing information, inquiry and communication. The analytical and writing skills that are taught and developed in this course are valuable to students considering further higher education in any discipline.
