Product Description

• History Skills for NCEA Level 1 is a workbook that will help you develop the same set of skills and tools used by historians to make sense of the past
• The first of these involves finding and assessing the usefulness and reliability of information from both primary and secondary sources
• The second set of skills will be those used to analyse primary sources to extract meaning, both of what there is in a source and what is missing from the source(s)
• It is thus as important for the historian to recognise gaps in the evidence as it is to analyse the available material
• The third and final set of skills involves communicating the ideas gained from the analysis of the evidence in the form of a convincing historical argument, backed with plenty of relevant evidence
• The most common form for doing this is through an essay
