Abstract

The article focuses on teaching strategies for exploring the participation of Australians in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. It outlines a lesson plan that incorporates archival research and commemorative artefacts to enhance students' historical understanding and inquiry skills. Students engage with the SIDBRINT database to analyze primary sources related to Australian volunteers and examine the significance of memorials and plaques in shaping public memory. The lesson aims to connect local experiences to global ideological struggles, fostering critical thinking and ethical reflection on the role of commemoration in history. [Extracted from the article]
