“The resources provided in this school kit proved useful in the classroom to spark discussion, particularly the visual sources as they are something my students struggle to analyse frequently. Because of the school I teach at, I incorporated the sources provided into a range of lessons that fit the topics currently being taught.”

“Learning about the history of New Zealand from an inquiry perspective was beneficial for all of my students at varying levels. I didn't manage to get through any other titles but enjoyed working through Protest as it coincided with the elections. Students became even more curious about the political parties, policies and possible controversy. We will continue to work our way through other titles in the series for 2024.”
