NCEA Level 3 History

Course Description

In this course we will study contested history, considering ‘whose’ history is remembered, how it is told and how, as historians, we can challenge the master narrative. 

In this course we will learn about the contested issue of Genocide. 

The course begins by defining what Genocide is and we will explore why the historiography has been continually questioned and revised, focusing on the case study of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.

For our assessment we will analyse the different perspectives that have been held by historians or politicians about Genocide over time. 

In Term 2, we will study the dropping of the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, at the end of WW2, questioning if the use of this type of weapon can be justified. 

Students will analyse this topic, considering the causes and consequence of the event, and how historical interpretation of this has been challenged. 

This course will develop skills in research, examining perspectives and interpreting historical evidence.
