Unit 1: Local history Learning objectives After completing this unit, you must be able to do the following: 

Research the past and apply it to local history. You must be able to find a wide variety of information about the past.



Collect information, for example from texts, visual material (photos, pictures, television and movies), songs, poems and interviews with people.



Use more than one type of written information such as books, magazines, newspapers and websites.

Introduction In this unit you are going to learn how to obtain information from various sources as well as how to find information about the present. When you know how to look for information that applies to the present, you will be able to use it to find out about the history of your area. Historical places often play an important part in modern society, for example the Town Hall in your area.

Unit

Lesson 1: Find out what’s happening today in a local area Define Present: The current time we live in (today), the here and now.

Sources: A place/person/object from which we can obtain information.

Documents: Something that is handwritten or printed.

Historian: A person who studies, and writes about the past.

Core content We can use different sources to find out about the present. We distinguish between three types of sources: primary, secondary and tertiary sources.

•

Primary source: a book/letter that was written by a person who was actually there, e.g. the diary kept by Piet Retief.

•

Secondary source: a person who read the book/letter and writes his/her own interpretation. For example, someone who writes a report after he/she has read Piet Retief’s diary.

•

Tertiary source: a secondary source is used to supplement the existing information. For example, someone uses the report written on Retief’s diary to obtain information.

When historians examine the past, they prefer to use primary sources as they are the most accurate documents that describe what really happened. However, historians must be very careful not to record their own opinions or beliefs when they write about the past.

In the next few lessons we are going to look at different ways that we can collect information about the present. We can obtain information from sources including photos, documents, stories and interviews with people as well as objects.

In the next four lessons we will discuss each source separately. Once you have completed your lessons, we are going to use the same skills to find out more about the past/history of a local area.

Important information You have to submit a project at the end of the term for assessment. You are going to make your own museum exhibition. Start looking for pictures, documents, stories and objects that you can use.

Lesson 2: Photos tell a story Define Photo: An image captured on a camera that you can look at over and over again.

Core content We can collect information by looking at photos and by asking and answering questions. Photos can provide us with information about the weather, events, people’s emotions, etc.

Let’s look at a few photos to see what information we can gather.

In this photo we can see two men enjoying a meal together. This is not only a social visit, as they appear to be busy with work – the laptop is open.

One can draw the conclusion that they are perhaps discussing work; a further observation relates to their clothes – they are both neatly www.bothsidesofthetable.com

dressed in office wear.

All the people in the photo are scholars – we can see this because they are all wearing school uniforms. They are not in the same school as their clothes are different. This photo was taken on a cold day; we can see this because all the children

http://www.atkv.org.za/jeuginstituut

are wearing jerseys or blazers. The photo was taken outside.

Tips When you examine a photo look at the following aspects to help you gather information.

•

Quality and colour of the photo.

•

The types of clothing the people are wearing.

•

The location of the photo.

•

What activity is happening in the photo?

•

Even the background can provide clues

If you consider all these points when examining the photo, you will be able to form a good idea of what is happening and who is involved.

Activity 1 Study the photos below and answer the questions that follow: Photo A

Photo B

People riding horses. http://perseveranceendurancehorses.files.word press.com

A man playing a traditional musical instrument. http://www.mieliestronk.com

The following questions are based on photo A: 1.

a)

Which natural source of water can be seen in the background ?

b)

What type of transport are the people in the photo using?

c)

What is the weather like in the photo?

The following questions are based on photo B: 2.

a)

Would you say that this is a really old photo?

b)

Give a reason for your answer.

Lesson 3: Information from documents/written sources

Core content We can also gather information from written or printed documents.

Examples of documents are advertisements, newspapers, magazines and road signs.

Good examples of a printed source are road signs. Let’s look at the following road signs: This motorway has four lanes. Just past this road sign it will split into two directions. It is important for motorists to know that they must turn left within 150 meters if they want to go to Selby or keep in the left lane if they want to go to Durban. If motorists want to go to Bloemfontein they must veer to the right, however, if they want to go SOURCE 1.5: Motorway information board

to Roodepoort they should turn right within 500 meters.

The sign also tells us that the road going to Durban is

http://img2.ph.126.net/POValrcNlKyQ69A

called the M2 whilst the road taking us to Bloemfontein

4Fpd5mQ==/6597565646401848146.jpg

is called the M1.

We can also see a sign showing a man on a motorcycle with a red line drawn through him – this means that motorcyclists are not permitted to drive on the road leading to Durban. The motorways road sign gives us all this information on a limited space.

This sign is also found along a motorway, but gives us a lot of different information. This sign is advertising the new Volvo S60. Therefore we can conclude that not all signs along a road are road signs.

Activity 2 Let’s see what information you can get from a written piece (an advertisement) by answering the following questions:

SOURCE 1.7: A business advertisement www.midrand.signarama.co.za

1.

What company is advertised in this advertisement?

2.

What product or service does this business offer?

3.

Where is the business located?

4.

What is the business telephone number?

[4]

Lesson 4: People tell stories and share experiences Define Interview: Is to have a conversation with someone to get specific information.

We can gather information from stories which people wrote and also by conducting an interview with someone. In an interview you ask the other person questions. The questions have to be focused and provide information on your specific topic. When you conduct an interview with someone, you should be very professional. This means you have to prepare your questions before the time, arrive on time for the interview and dress neatly.

9.

What was your maiden name? (If it is a married woman.)

10. Do you have children? If so, how many?

This will give you a good starting point for your interview; expand your discussion by adding your own questions.

[10] Lesson 5: Objects are little pieces of history Define Object: something which you can see and touch.

We can gather information by looking at objects. The object we are going to have a look at is the school crest of High School DF Malan There is a variety of information we can obtain by looking at the crest:

Lesson 7: Information from documents/written sources This was taken from a local newspaper published in Pretoria.

Read it and answer the questions: No final agreement has been reached over the name of Pretoria and the 27 new street names, the Freedom Front Plus said on Friday.

“Negotiations about the naming of streets are still in the early stages and there is no official bid from the ANC that Pretoria’s name can stay in exchange for 27 new street names”, councillor Conrad Beyers said. He confirmed that the ANC and FF Plus is talking about it, but no agreement has been reached yet.

Beeld reported on Friday morning that Pretoria will keep its name, but that 27 street names will change in the city. This is the ‘bid’ from the ANC in the negotiations with regards to the controversial name issue that is currently taking place behind the scenes.

Mr Kgosientso Ramokgopa, the executive mayor of Tshwane-metro met with the leaders of the opposition parties yesterday. It is believed that the ANC – after an extended and confusing name battle of eight years, decided to abandon the proposed change of Pretoria to Tshwane.

Activity 5 Answer the following questions based on the passage.

During an interview with a couple who have been residing in Pretoria for many years, they said the following: Like expensive perfume and decadent chocolate, the fine nuance which binds people together is still visible after six decades. Jan (83) and Trienie (79) Loubser are still as in love as the day they met in 1950. They worked together and knew that they were meant for each other when they saw one another for the first time. On 28 March 1953, the two love birds decided to start their lives together and the rest is history. The Loubser couple have four children, two boys and two girls of which the youngest boy and girl have passed away. They have nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Jan said that he fell in love with her upbeat personality and she is and was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Trienie said that he was always very attractive and that the respect he had for his parents was a bonus. “They say the way in which a man treats his mother, is how he will treat his wife. He was very good to his mother and father, and I knew that he would look after me.”

Lesson 10: Ask and answer questions on the lives and attributes of good leaders Define Leader: a person who gives guidance to another Attributes: qualities that make up a person’s character Core content What is a leader? A leader is someone who sets a good example for others to follow and who we can look up to and ask for guidance. A good leader should have certain attributes. Attributes are characteristics that are unique to a person, some characteristics are good and others are less favourable.

A good attribute is to have a lot of patience; it serves no purpose to become angry quickly.

A person’s attributes can make him/her either popular or unpopular. Everyone’s taste is different and people don’t always get along with everyone else. Some people like to talk a lot and craves attention, while others are shy and don’t like it when people look at them, let alone when a big group is staring at them!

A good leader must have certain attributes, but we will explore these in the next lesson.

Lesson 11: Choose a leader Four learners were asked who they would choose in their community as a good leader and why. These were their answers: I think that Drikus is a good leader. He respects everyone and listens when someone is speaking. He is not scared of saying what is right, even if everyone does not agree. Before he decides what to do, he listens to everyone’s suggestions.

JJ said:

Reuben said:

I think that Franco is a good leader. He is not lazy and is very clever. He participates in sport and has a lot of friends. Most people like Franco.

Natasha is the best! Everyone knows Natasha, and her parents do a lot for the community. Natasha’s dad repaired and painted the tennis courts at the club. Her mom is on the community’s women’s committee. I think that Natasha is a good leader.

Armand said: Rico is the strongest guy in our age group. No one messes with him and he quickly deals with troublemakers. I am sure that he is the best leader I know, because he sees to it that no one fights

Niki said:

with me or any of his friends.
