Conflict, Protest & Resolution

This week’s theme in Inquiry focuses on the notion of conflict, protest and resolution. Over the last 100 years our world has experienced numerous accounts of civil wars and conflict between countries. 


Your task this week is to conduct some research that will involve you sourcing an image, sound-byte, animation, youtube clip, a photo of a personal item or anything else you deem appropriate and relevant to the theme of the week. The annotation you wish to conduct more research on could be a further analysis of the wars / conflicts that have been looked at in previous Inquiry sessions.


You will need to conduct some research on your chosen annotation using some basic historical tools of analysis:

  •  who does the annotation relate too? (individuals, groups, countries, etc)
  • what are the circumstances / events (such as political, economic, social) around the annotation?
  • when did it occur or what part of the 20th Century was it a part of?
  • where did it occur and how was the location significant?
  • whay is significant to the 20th Century?

Your post must be at least 250 - 300 words in length and is due to be posted up on your blog by Thursday 4th August.
