A morning for primary and secondary teachers interested in implementing the National History Challenge this year (or in the future).
The session will include a seminar on this year’s theme ‘Crisis and Response’, and workshops on teaching primary, lower senior, and
upper senior historical inquiry skills.
This is a great learning experience for all history teachers, you don't have to be doing the National History Challenge to benefit.
We will be joined by Neil O'Sullivan,
Senior Lecturer from UWA, who
will discuss the response of the Roman statesman Cicero to the death of his daughter Tullia. Cicero is one of the
most important men in world history, given his prominence in Rome in the last days of the Republic and his voluminous writings which went
on to have enormous influence on later times. These writings contain hundreds of personal letters which give us a unique insight into his
intellectual and emotional life — indeed it has been truly said that we know more about him than any other person from the ancient world.
His reaction to the death of his only daughter and favourite child, shortly after she gave birth, can be traced in his own correspondence
and in other ancient documents.

Dr Shauna Bostock is an Aboriginal woman whose family descend from Bundjalung Country, in the Northern Rivers region of Northern New
South Wales. Her family members knew that the Bostock name came from a non-Indigenous settler, Augustus John Bostock, who married an
Aboriginal woman in the 1800s, but there were huge gaps in family history knowledge from the present to the past. Shauna was immediately
struck with a burning curiosity to find out more.
The Tom Stannage Memorial Lecture commemorates

Public Lecture by Dr Neil O"Sullivan
The current exhibition at the WA Museum, "Ancient Greeks: Athletes, Warriors and Heroes" rightly focuses on their love of competition, a quality which always defined Greek culture. We see this characteristic passion already in their earliest poet, Homer, and in the world he imagined long before him. War, so often the theme of his work, is the most brutal form of competition, but he describes other contests which were already important in his time and later came to be seen as distinctively Greek, such as those in athletics and, subtly, even in poetry itself. Illustrated exclusively by pieces in the current exhibition, this talk explores the spirit of competition in Homer and in subsequent Greek culture, contrasting it with our superficially similar but rather different sense of the role of competition
Regardless of whether you are teaching or studying Years 11 and 12 General or ATAR Ancient History or teaching Year 7, this FREE lecture has enormous value for all of our WA syllabus points.
Bring along all your Year 11 and 12 students, and get them to soak up a bit of Uni culture along the way at this critical time when they’re considering their tertiary education futures.

Join us for a thought provoking afternoon, where we look at innovative ways to develop highly transferable critical thinking and HASS
inquiry skills that will get kids thinking both about then and now.

Dr Edgar Pusch of University College London, was Field Director at the site of Qantir – Piramesse, the capital city of Ramses II - for a
number of years.
Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great, moved the administrative capital of Egypt from Thebes, 650 kilometres south of Cairo, north to a
site on the Nile Delta, 110 kilometres north of Cairo. Here Ramses II, was a prolific monument builder in the New Kingdom including projects
such as the infamous Ramesseum in Thebes and the Temple at Abu Simbel, built his new capital city.
Edgar Pusch will talk us through his excavation of the site and his insights into life in Ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom as well as the stunning finds from the site including an industrial scale bronze foundry, glass making and colouring workshops, enormous factories for the production of faience and evidence for the building of chariots along with a training ground and stables for 480 horses. There is even evidence that Ramses II kept a collection of exotic animals.

This hands on PL will look at teaching students how to find information, reference their work, how best to use ICT for both researching and presenting ideas, with lots of practical strategies and ideas for WA classrooms.
If you are thinking of entering (or maybe even judging) the National History Challenge or Simpson Prize this workshop will give you lots of good ideas to use with your class.

Ancient History Teacher Workshop
This workshop is aimed at supporting the Ancient History ATAR and General Egyptian context teachers. Teachers who already deliver these courses and those who are considering doing so in the future should find these presentations relevant, engaging and practical.
Venue: Applecross SHS
Date: Saturday, May 21
TIME: 9.30-12.30
Presenters
Heather Tunmore and Jodie Ford. Heather is an Egyptologist who is an epigrapher and archaeologist. Heather has taught both Ancient and
Modern History in WA. Jodie Ford is a teacher of both Ancient and Modern History who has been studying Egyptology for several years.
9.30-10.30 Session 1: Heather Tunmore will be discussing Egyptian Art.
An understanding of the principles by which Egyptian artists, draftsmen, craftsmen and artisans operated is fundamental to understanding the history and culture of the Ancient Egyptians whose art decorated not only the well known tombs and temples but also their homes, their palaces and their possessions. Their formal art was conceptual, not naturalistic. This means that the concepts or ideas behind the art were considered to be more important than the art itself. Thus art tells us about their views of the world, the gods, society, life and the afterlife over thousands of years; information which you will need to use if you choose to teach Ancient Egypt. This presentation will help you understand the ways in which Egyptians thought of art, will teach you some of the obvious differences between their artistic expression and ours for example the different understanding of perspective, and it will teach you the basics of the Egyptian canon. It will teach you, and thus your students, to draw like an Egyptian. Bring your computer or a thumb drive and you will be able to download the talk and the images so that you can use them in the classroom.
10.30- 10.50: Morning Tea will be provided.
10.50 – 11.50: Session 2: Jodie Ford will focus on planning and delivering new courses.
If you are worried about planning, resourcing and delivering a new course in the Egyptian context for the first time, Jodie Ford will offer advice about how to confidently deliver an Egyptian Ancient History General or ATAR course. Jodie will be addressing some of the common misconceptions and sharing her ideas about how to use the Syllabus documents to plan content and assessment.
11.50-12.30 Session 3: General Course teachers are invited to a short planning and discussion workshop.
This will be an opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and swap teaching techniques and ideas for the EST or any other aspect of the General Ancient History courses. Bring along any teaching/learning resources you are happy to share.
