Our Year 11 Modern Historians have created an interactive timeline that illustrates what hate can do within a modern society, using their ATAR Nazi Germany content as a basis.
Hate crime is an everyday occurrence for a large number of ethnic minorities, religious minorities and other groups around the world and teacher Tara Holmes said the timeline project generated stimulating discussions, thoughtful questions and engaging evaluation.
“The activity worked really well and allowed the students to investigate the key events and engage in higher-order thinking and discussion,” she said.
“These kinds of activities have a number of benefits such as a strong visual representation that can be reinforced with a scaled-down version later and is a much more stimulating way of transferring knowledge than completing a traditional written timeline activity.”
