Many schools are taking the opportunity offered by the introduction of the new standards to spruce up or change their topics for 2013. Here at SchoolHistoryNZ we are busy writing new topics, course outlines and assessments; taking into account the inquiry learning structure of the NZ curriculum.

We hope that you enjoyed the new topics that we launched for Level 2 this year and now having consulted many students we are formulating new units for Year 13, Level 3:

• Russian Revolution • Vietnam War

Each topic will be carefully aligned to the new standards, including the new requirement to make all topics ‘significant to New Zealanders’. To this end, our first internal assessment (3.1) will be a case study of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu or America’s involvement in Vietnam. The second (3.2), will be on New Zealand’s involvement in the Vietnam War. The 3.4 will be an internal on the Russian Revolution.

We will also be updating all of the ‘tried and true’ topics currently in use.

Watch out for regular updates on these new units
