changes that perhaps only a new and assertive nation can exhibit.

Five content areas of learning and understanding will include: 1. The early life of John Monash, his family and influences what can be learned from his character development his education and values; 2. The historical sources used and assessed for possible bias and accuracy; 3. The path to military leadership at Gallipoli; 4. How an outsider won the War with or without glory; and 5. The post-war life and evaluation of Monash Methodology This course does not offer a stand and deliver approach from a lecture out the front. Nor does it expect participants to perform and present either except 28-Feb-2018 2/7
in small informal ways through discussion. The method adopted in covering the content is to work as a research team around a table of written sources provided by the lecturer. We shall work together under the lecturer s guidance as the research director to uncover, compare and make conclusions on the topics above, discussing differences, drawing conclusions about Monash, the Great War and assessing the accuracy and value of the sources available to us. Adopting the mantle of historian, especially in a discussion group, allows for a better learning experience and the development of personal research skills in learning history. It is really a history workshop. Course Outcomes Participants can expect to complete the course with the following outcomes: an in-depth knowledge of the life, times and achievements of Sir John Monash; an increased knowledge of the ANZAC experience of the Great War through the direct experience of our greatest general and his impact; the personal development of historical research skills in a team approach supported by a team leader and tabled resources; access to a range of materials in assessing the value, viewpoints 28-Feb-2018 3/7
