Pearson History 8 Student Book

The student book is at the centre of an integrated package designed to help students, whether at school or at home, to learn and understand the content and the skills required for the study of History. Full-colour presentation of primary and secondary sources and an exciting design make the student book engaging and accessible for all students. The student book at each year level is written specifically to meet the requirements of the Australian Curriculum. The content and activities it contains will enhance students’ and teachers’ understanding of the History curriculum’s two interrelated strands: historical skills, and historical understanding and knowledge.

PEARSON history has been specifically developed and written for the Australian Curriculum. This series uses the inquiry process to underpin the study of History, providing full coverage of the two strands of historical skills and historical understanding and knowledge. PEARSON history encourages ‘big picture’ thinking enabling students and teachers to make connections with society and cultures both past and present.
