In this program, students will enhance their historical knowledge and source analysis skills, which are central to the Year 12 HSC Modern History Core Study: Power and Authority in the Modern World, 1919-1946.
Students will take part in a content lecture focusing on Power and Authority across multiple syllabus dot-points. Additionally, students will have the chance to hone their source analysis skills through a workshop with numerous opportunities for handling and analysing primary source artefacts, as well as key secondary sources connecting to the unit of study.
Students will also hear and engage with the recollections of Holocaust survivor Eddie Jaku OAM on the rise and impact of Nazism via digitally recorded interactive AI technology. Students will be able to ask questions about his personal experience during the Holocaust.
This program is designed to enhance student content knowledge, grow historical understanding and champion source analysis skills while providing students with a deeper comprehension of the values and limitations of sources which is critical to their final examination.
