12 HῙTORI / HISTORY

Subject Description

History is a subject that looks at the relationships between the past and the present. History as a subject helps explain and understand events from the past and present, which helps us to predict our futures.  In this course you will develop an understanding of Historical Ideas and Skills by examining a range of topics.  You will be expected to participate in the teaching and learning in class, as well as complete all homework and out of class assignments.  If you do an hour’s revision each week, you will find the work a lot easier than trying to cram all of your learning into the end of the year.
The course offers a possible 23 credits at Level Two. There will be five Achievement Standards offered. Of these five, two are external and will be assessed in a three-hour exam at the end of the year. The other three Achievement Standards will be assessed internally. Depending on the progress of the class there is room for change at the teachers and HOD’s discretion. All internal and external assessments contribute towards University Entrance Literacy.
