Abstract

Has learning about text types lost some of its

lustre for your students; particularly boys?

Does Studies of Society, HSIE, or History need

a fillip to energise students’ learning in your

classroom? Could your Bible/Scripture/Studies

of Religion program do with more vibrancy and

relevance? And what about a little detective

work, some historical research, a mapping

assignment or a variation on some of these?

Perhaps the reading of a boy’s diary may

become a spring-board for any one of a number

of interesting learning activities.
