Inquiring Into 20th Century - Historical Annotation Tasks

Over the coming 5-6 weeks in Inquiry you will be asked to complete and post up on your blog a number of historical annotations relating to the themes covered each week in class. As indicated in your student workbook the themes that will be covered include:

• Conflict, Protest & Resolution
• Sport
• Science & Technology
• Heroes & Villains
• Music

Each annotation 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 history theme of the week.

You will need to conduct some research the basic historical tools of analysis:

-       who does it relate to (individuals, groups, countries etc.)?

-       what are the circumstances/events (such a political, economic, social) around the picture?

-       when did it occur or what part of the 20^th century is it part of?

-       where did it occur and how is the location significant?

-       why is it significant to the 20^th century?

The first of the annotation posts you will be required to complete will be due on Thursday 4th of August - stay tuned for what theme it will be...
