Historical inquiry: Kokoda
Summary of task
Students explored the experience of Australians during World War II. They developed a series of inquiry questions in relation to the events and significance of the Kokoda campaign. Students presented their findings as a report, using the inquiry questions as the organising frame. The task, including time to proof-read and edit the final report, was completed in class and in the school library over five 50-minute lessons as well as for homework.
