NCEA Level 2 History
Course Description
In this course, we will explore the social and political changes that occurred during the movement for African-American Civil Rights in the USA.
We will focus on the origins of racism and slavery, the emergence and use of non-violent protest, and the rise of the Black Power Movement.
We will assess this topic by examining the different perspectives that were held by the people involved.
We will then move on to examine the emergence of Maori and Pasifika activism in Aotearoa, making consistent links to the American context we have studied.
We will spend time identifying important factors that led to the 1970s activism and the key focuses of the actions taken, through the use of case studies, including Dawn Raids, the Land Hikoi and '81 Springbok Tour protests.
We will choose one event from this topic to examine and consider its significance to New Zealanders in the past and in contemporary society.
Through this course, you will develop skills in research, examining historical events and perspectives, debating, examining historical evidence and academic writing skills.
