This entire series is a wonderful way to learn history or teach it to adolescents. I find today's generations seem to recall more when they learn through other people (pop songs, celebrity gossip, etc.), so what better way to teach history than through someone else's perspective? Yes, "authentic" diaries would be "better", but would the language really hold the modern student's attention? Did the diary writer know what WOULD be important in the context of history? Probably not. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In England the land of New Zealand is being promoted as the new promised land. Thirteen-year-old William sets sail with his family on the Adelaide in September 1839, bound for Port Nicholson, New Zealand. The Donahues are assisted emigrants, part of Edward Gibbon Wakefield's scheme to populate New Zealand. The journey is fraught with problems, and when they arrive they realise they have been misinformed about life in New Zealand. Includes historical note. Suggested level: intermediate, junior secondary. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
