Modern History – Apartheid – Engaging with Primary Sources

(0)
The PPT begins with a warm up to help students to retrieve prior knowledge. This is followed by Carlton university’s tips for analysing and evaluating primary sources. Students are then given a worksheet which contains the O-P-V-M chart with some elements removed which students will fill in as the lesson takes place. The PPT goes through each source type beginning with letters giving information about things to keep in mind regarding origin, purpose, value and limitations. There is a letter from Nelson to Winnie which we read and discussed the language choices. There was also one from Winnie to Nelson (1970). Following this information about Winnie Mandela from the South African History website was provided. The next source type was photographs. I utilised a range of photographs about Winnie Mandela. Following this, political cartoons. This was followed by an acronym called P.I.C.T.U.R.E which is handy for unpacking visual sources. There is information about techniques which cartoonists often use to convey meaning (including allusion, symbolism, irony). Then some cartoons from Zapiro and Len Sak were included for students to get an idea of different styles. The next source type was news media which covers newspapers, tv reports, radio reports and eye witness accounts. Following this, official government documents and other government records e.g. speeches and memorandas. Resources designed for the new senior Modern History syllabus (implemented in QLD in 2019). The syllabus objectives would also be useful more broadly for English students in other states and countries with an interest in the Anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa (1948-1994).

Modern History – Apartheid – Historical Context

A word document (Cornell Notes template) which I explain to students before the lesson. I then deliver the lesson in a lecture style format where students choose what to write down. A PPT which I use for my lecture-style lesson. It introduces students to the Dutch East India Company and their influence in Africa. Terms like Boer and Afrikaners are introduced. Information about the conflict between the British colonisers and the Boers is provided. This is followed by information about how the Boers attained self government. The use of language as propaganda is explored e.g. terms like ‘kaffir.’ The PPT ends with some checking for understanding questions.
