The Spirit of Change [Paperback]

The Spirit of Change Series encourages students and teachers to engage in an inquiry based study of documents and illustrations. These comprehensive texts provide a plethora of primary and secondary sources, sometimes of a conflicting nature, which guide students through the causes, events, leaders, ideology and aftermath of the revolutions.

There are four major investigations in each text. Within each investigation there are a number of inquiries that focus on a particular question for study. It is intended that the inquiries simulate the process of the historian, that is,

raising questions, investigating and critiquing sources, drawing conclusions, justifying their decisions and communicating their findings. Graded questions encourage an examination of the sources using a variety of learning techniques.

Designed to meet the curriculum requirements of the Western Australian and Victorian senior history syllabuses, The Spirit of Change Series would be appropriate for any senior History student studying the revolutions.
