  1. The 1970s Dawn Raids: exploring historical literacy through the context of a significant New Zealand event Mary Libby and Stephanie Ashton SocCon 2013

  2. Using the context of the 1970s Dawn Raids we intend to: • clarify understandings of historical literacies • consider ways to support students through the literacy demands inherent in engaging with the historical concepts of: • perspectives • bias or propaganda • cause and effect • significance

  3. Co-constructing a definition of Historical Literacies In our effortsto co-construct a working definition of ‘historical literacies’ we will chunk Jeffery D Nokes’ 2011 paper

  4. Contextualizing the 1970s Dawn Raids One way to contextualize an unfamiliar historical event is by starting with non-text based rather than text based sources. This hooks the student into the context and gives them a foundation for their new learnings.

  5. Secondary Non-Text Based Source: Dawn Raids Documentary Dawn Raids Documentary (NZ OnScreen 2005)

  6. Contextualized Texts Another strategy is to use highly contextualized texts to support students in understanding the context so they can engage in the literacy and learning demands of their new learning (e.g. historical concepts)

  7. Primary Text Based Source: What makes this text highly contextualized and how could it help students to engage with historical concepts?
