Students will use historical skills, including research, evaluation, synthesis, analysis and communication. They will rely on their knowledge of the historical concepts such as evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, significance, empathy, perspectives and contestability, to understand and interpret societies from the past. The activities and tasks have been written to ensure that students develop the skills and attributes required for senior History subjects.
The Age of Imperialism focuses broadly on the rising spread of Europeans in Africa and Asia between 1850 and 1914, and examines the origins, nature and consequences of imperialism and colonialism during this period.

About the Author
Ken Webb has been around storytellers all his life, having grown up a preacher's son in South Carolina and having listened to a grandfather whose tales of early and mid-20th Century Southern life stick with him to this day. The importance of stories and listening continued as he earned a degree in journalism, became an award-winning reporter and editor for weekly newspapers, and then a staff writer for The State newspaper in Columbia, SC. In a career shift, Webb worked in automotive sales, management, and consulting, but continues to write and collect stories.
He drew on both careers for High Beams on Bumpy Roads as he did in crafting his first novel, Mr. Carter's Sword, a story of honor and retribution, rooted in the Vietnam War, but set in the present day American South.
