Taylor, A. I., & Young, C. M. (2003). Making History: A Guide for the Teaching and Learning of History in Australian Schools. (First ed.) Carlton Vic Australia: Curriculum Corporation.

Making History (2004) remains one of the most important and significant publications about effective history teaching to be published in Australia. Taylor clearly outlines the role of skills of historical literacy which he defines as “a systematic process with particular sets of skills, attitudes and conceptual understandings that mediate and develop historical consciousness” (p.29).
