Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Having hands on materials significantly increased the engagement of our learners.

Having the opportunity for them to research further into an area of New Zealand's history that is not often covered was eye opening for many. Having the hands on materials provided an extra layer of engagement. We finished the unit with students writing an essay on if they thought New Zealand should remain Nuclear Free or not. This allowed students to apply their learning in an authentic manner.”

Which resources were most engaging and most useful to students? Some of the students liked reading the newspapers, not just the relevant articles. They also enjoyed the photos as a starting point for discussions. Some liked the flag and the badges. Different students liked different parts!

“I found it brilliant as a resource to build student's knowledge around nuclear history of the Pacific region. I used the resources in the 4 parts, and created an independent literacy activity for each part - one that looked at the videos, the historical documents and it provided lots of discussions with the students. It got them inquisitive. They really knew nothing about nuclear weapons or nuclear power. The students liked how each topic followed in chronological order, and they saw the changes in how people thought, acted, and supported ideas over that period.”
