Kokoda Track 1942 – Year 10 History Teacher Pack (AC9HH10K02)

A free, ready-to-teach Year 10 pack built around our video Did Kokoda Save Australia? The Truth About the Kokoda Track (1942). Watch it free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cO3kSo2Q7lk

Students pause the video at five on-screen pause cards and take on a role for each thinking task, from a staff officer at Port Moresby to an adviser to the Prime Minister. Along the way they weigh up why the Japanese advance stopped, whose stories get told (including the Papuan and New Guinean experience), and whether "Kokoda saved Australia" really holds up.
