  • Pacific Island History Poster Profiles
    Pacific Island History Poster Profiles A Note for Teachers Acknowledgements Index of Profiles This Profiles are subject to copyright. Photocopying and general reproduction for teaching purposes is permitted. Reproduction of this material in part or whole for commercial purposes is forbidden unless written consent has been obtained from Queensland University of Technology. Requests can be made through the acknowldgements section of this pdf file. A Note for Teachers This series of National History Posters has been designed for individual and group Classroom use and Library display in secondary schools. The main aim is to promote in children an interest in their national history. By comparing their nation's history with what is presented on other Posters, students will appreciate the similarities and differences between their own history and that of their Pacific Island neighbours. The student activities are designed to stimulate comparison and further inquiry into aspects of their own and other's past. The National History Posters will serve a further purpose when used as a permanent display in a designated “History” classroom, public space or foyer in the school or for special Parent- Teacher nights, History Days and Education Days. The National History Posters do not offer a complete survey of each nation's history. They are only a profile. They are a short-cut to key people, key events and the broad sweep of history from original settlement to the present. There are many gaps. The posters therefore serve as a stimulus for students to add, delete, correct and argue about what should or should not be included in their Nation's History Profile.
