Historical Context of the Overview - This unit considers the influence of the Industrial Revolution on the movement of peoples throughout the world, including the transatlantic slave trade and convict transportation. The overview is integrated into this topic, introducing students to the enormous economic, social and political changes that occurred as a result of industrialization. These impacts include urbanization, as well as other population movements. (Embedded in this unit is an introduction to the notion of imperialism, as a part of the overview, we will be revisiting this concept in each of the depth studies.)
Students then investigate the experiences of different groups (slaves and convicts) from the time of transportation to their arrival in their destination country. The focus of this unit will be on the Australian experience and the lives of convicts, emancipists and free settlers in NSW in the period to approximately 1820. This topic incorporates a site study of The Rocks/the Quarantine Station/Hyde Park Barracks and Macquarie St.
Finally, students will be asked to consider the long and short term impacts of the movement of peoples during this period by returning to the key question: “Making a better world?”
