This standard asks you to show you understand key historical concepts (like *tūrangawaewae* and *effect*) by describing and explaining how they played out in real New Zealand historical events and situations. You need to pick your own studied context from NZ history and connect it back to these ideas using specific historical details and evidence.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Describe historical concepts using specific examples and evidence from the provided material and your own studied context
- ·Explain what the historical concepts mean and why they matter in the situations you're examining
- ·Choose a New Zealand historical context (or a NZ context plus an international one) that actually allows you to explore the concepts properly
- ·Use concrete historical evidence like dates, names, quotes, or statistics to back up what you're saying
- ·Show how the concepts connect to the broader ideas about the past, not just tell the story of what happened
AAchieved
You describe the historical concepts and identify where they appear in the material, using some relevant evidence, but your explanations are brief and mainly descriptive rather than analytical.
