This WIKI SPACE is to help you keep track of the work we do in Global Learning this term. Check it daily as there may be updates you've missed You will be able to use the space to make some of your homework responses. Handy URL's will be recorded here for your investigation and everyone will contribute useful sites that they find when conducting their own investigations with a review of at least one site commenting on the usefulness of the site, its main attractions and a copy of the URL as a link for others to access. Use of this wiki space is an integral aspect of your work over the next nine - ten weeks. Tasks will be posted here as well as given to you in class and some responses will be required to be submitted on line. Term 2 Global Learnings Topics:

WWI WWII Vietnam War

Sounds pretty dry, but we will be looking at the human aspect of these three major conflicts. Each conflict involves viewing at least one film and follow up work from that as well as an analysis of the documentary form.

We examine
 * how propaganda is used to persuade people of a particular point of view ( which relates to the work we did in term one on opinion and persuasive writing.)
 * how people's perceptions and opinions differed and changed
 * the issue of conscription
 * the causes and effects of each of the major conflicts
 * Australia's involvement in each conflict
 * turning points

Joyeux Noel, Hello America, Australians at War (ABC), ANZACs ( or Gallipoli) Poetry Primary sources : letters, war records, maps,photos, memorabilia, posters, propaganda, paintings, poems, first hand accounts. Secondary sources: statistics, second hand accounts.
 * Texts examined:**

You will be expected to complete all tasks set. This wiki space will keep you informed of our progress in class if you miss lessons. Absence from a lesson will not be accepted as an excuse for incomplete work. Extensions must be negotiated before the due date for any piece of work and will not automatically be given.

You need a folder for your work and to keep handouts organised this term. I will assess your folders as an example of portfolio work. Keep everything. Each section of each unit this term leads into the next. We will refer back to previous work as we move through each new section.
