Anzac Day

Anzac Day | Primary history | Scoop.it
As you saw earlier, Anzac day commemorations were held on Friday. And on that day we were lucky enough to meet a young Aussie with a very special connection to it. His name is Anzac. Here's his story. But first, a warning to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers, this story contains images of people who've died.

Catherine Smyth's insight:

Personal stories help young children learn about the past. Use historical narratives in the classroom to humanise significant events like war.


In the book "What is History Teaching?, Chris Husbands describes how 'Storied thinking' is a central tool in the teaching and learning of history. Husbands suggests the teacher's role is to:

  • Provide information
  • Tell stories
  • provide historical context
  • interpret
  • organise resources and students
  • ask questions (ascertain prior knowledge and ideas)
  • perform
  • pose problems (what if? how about? what do you think?)
