Exploring History lets Years 7 & 8 students become historians exploring the fascinating past. As young historians they examine primary and secondary sources, locate and evaluate historical evidence, and develop and test hypotheses about people and events in the past. Exploring History includes fascinating people, events and civilisations, and stimulates students' interest through "What if you were there?" activities, "Discovering for yourself" projects and "Exploring the Past" investigations. Teachers have maximum flexibility when programming history units using Exploring History, drawing from a rich selection of investigations, projects, photographs, illustrations, diagrams and drawings for class explorations, collaborative learning activities and individual investigations. Teachers are able to plan student-centred units by drawing from a wide range of learning activities and historical sources to meet the learning needs and diverse interests of their students. Exploring History is also a springboard to further history investigations, developing students' historical knowledge, understanding, values and skills. A variety of learning strategies are provided throughout the book, encouraging students to talk with and listen to others, research and write history themselves, work independently and co-operatively, and also employ their developing historical knowledge and skills in creative and enjoyable ways.
