11 Modern History - Vietnam Independence Movement – Deconstructing exemplar activity

A free resource (handout) designed to prompt students to deconstruct the IA3 example and identify how the layout, the content and writing style work simultaneously to produce a high-quality response to the task. The handout features: questions about the number of primary vs secondary sources, approximate word counts for different sections, questions about how the intro was structured and what the hypothesis was, questions about specific vocabulary choices made by the writer in their responses (including conjunctions) & questions which prompt the students to read the information provided by the QCAA in the margin notes about how best to address particular criteria. The handout also includes information about how to reference particular source types in APA formatting.

This handout is intended to be used alongside the QCAA sample IA3 response written in October 2018

NB: This is about a different topic (The Cold War) so as to avoid student over-reliance on the exemplar. It is the same text type and has a colour-coded ISMG (marking guide) with the work highlighted to indicate where the response has met each criteria.

Resources designed for the new senior Modern History syllabus (implemented in QLD in 2019). The content would also be useful more broadly for students in other states and countries with an interest in the Vietnamese Independence Movement (1945-1975). The other resources are also available in my store - Aussie_Resources. The end of term assessment for this unit was an essay.**
