Hi to all History/Social Studies students,
You’re invited to a unique event where your views, experiences and feelings matter - where you are at centrestage.
We invite you to submit short notes - through email or Facebook; and they can be written or visual, or comprise photographs or video clips - on your views and experiences in learning history.
Your views matter - we are seeking thoughtful and creative responses. Selected notes will be discussed at the Students at Centrestage Seminar (see below for details).
Some things to get your thoughts going:
1. The Historian’s Way: in learning history, do you work and think like a historian?
2. The Experience: what learning activities work for you, and which activities don’t?
3. Values and Lessons: what values and lessons does history provide us?
4. Problems and Frustrations: are you frustrated by problems such as language, concepts, sources, comparison etc? How can learning history be more fun and meaningful?
5. The Future: will you take history in your next school or in university?
