≈ Comments Off on Immanuel History Project

This is your major research project for this semester.

There is a major booklet to help you, but essentially you need to:

  • choose a topic of interest in Australia since 1918
  • come up with a question that asks you to analyse or judge, not just describe (‘why’ or ‘to what extent’ rather than ‘What happened…’)
  • 1200 word (max) essay with referencing

Handed out: Tuesday 15 March (Term 1, Week 7), due Thursday 2 June (Term 2, Week 5)
