Unit Catalogue

This unit will enable students to build the knowledge, skills and ways of thinking needed for successful study in Law, the Humanities and Social Sciences. It aims to develop students' abilities to appreciate the importance of perspective in understanding past and present events. Students will be engaged in inquiry based explorations of history and asked to consider different views on events of local and global importance. Students will also learn how to analyse media representations of people, places and events. Students will extend their understanding of how texts create meanings and convey a particular point of view. Through these explorations, the unit will help students develop the critical thinking, reading and writing skills needed to undertake study at university.
