A free resource which I think History teachers will find helpful. I created this booklet to assess 10 history students conducting a historical inquiry into World War Two (they had a choice of four topics). This was delivered in a school where each student had a laptop so was designed to be completed electronically however, more room to write could be added if you want to use it as a hard copy booklet. If you use it, and like it, please come and give me a positive star rating / review . Constructive criticism is also appreciated. This booklet contains: • four suggested topics with sub points that the students must address • a graphic organiser (table) for students to write their research questions in • a place for students to reflect on their questions and justify any modifications they make during the research process • tips for locating sources and a graphic organiser where students can organise their research • checking for understanding questions which prompt students to consider what they will include in their second assessment (essay) • a place for them to evaluate their sources using the RESEARCH acronym • a paragraph writing scaffold (for students who are not confident to begin writing on their own) • tips for how to reference different types of sources

Part of a set of resources created for a senior Modern History class in Australia (QCAA syllabus). The assessment to be completed in this unit is a ‘Independent Source Investigation’ where students must develop their own key research question, write a rationale, locate sources, analyse and evaluate those sources and write a critical summary of evidence. This is a scaffolding booklet which takes students through the planning and writing phases of their assessment. It begins with prompts to select an individual / group to focus on. It provides tips for writing a key inquiry question and an example for a different topic from the QCAA exemplar for IA2. Then, to assist the students to write 3-5 sub questions, there is information about each historical concept (which they could choose to use as a frame for their questions). There is a template for reflecting on the worth of their key and sub questions. After this students can create a tentative thesis statement / hypothesis. There is information to help students to do this. (Eventually this will be incorporated into their rationale section of their assessment). There are a series of tables where students can store the information / sources they found. There is a column for analysis and a column for evaluation where students can make dot points to gather their ideas ready to be turned into a succinct response in their assessment. This is followed by writing tips for the rationale and critical summary of evidence, referencing tips and a self-review checklist for students to use to check their work prior to submitting a draft. There is also a peer review form for students to use to receive feedback from a ‘critical friend.’

A Scope and Sequence suggesting topics to be covered throughout the term. A revision booklet to help students prepare for the external exam. Some elements are not complete but I left the formatting in just in case you had the time to add them (the evaluation and synthesis questions). Resources designed for the new senior Modern History syllabus (implemented in QLD in 2019). The syllabus objectives would also be useful more broadly for English students in other states and countries with an interest in the Anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa (1948-1994).

A practice exam designed to give students the opportunity to practice meeting the key criteria and writing an essay under time constraints. The examination is an 800-1000 word essay in response to historical sources (2 hrs + 15 minutes planning time). Included in this resource are: A task sheet for the practice exam which includes scaffolding and a reflection for students to complete at the end. 12 sources which I chose along with their reference details and appropriate context statements. A booklet of lined paper for students to write their response on A peer review checklist to be used in a subsequent lesson Resources designed for the new senior Modern History syllabus (implemented in QLD in 2019). Designed as part of a unit entitled Women’s movements since 1893 which has the scope to span from when Women’s suffrage in New Zealand became law to the present. Our school decided to focus on the Second Wave of Feminism for our assessment (while briefly touching on the other waves of feminism). In Unit 2, students form their own knowledge and understanding about movements that have emerged in the Modern World. Our class focused on the removal of discrimination and exploitation based on sexism. Through our depth study we investigated the Women’s Rights Movement focussing on the changes in goals, strategies and challenges across the ‘waves’ of feminism between the late nineteenth century and today. The other resources are also available in my store - Aussie_Resources. The end of term assessment for this unit was an essay under exam conditions.
