To practice 1.6 open up this pdf file:1.6 EXAM
This
exam paper should always have the same three questions. They deal with
describing an event, describing the effects of the event on two groups
and describing the significance the event has to New Zealanders.
Using
what you have done on Parihaka so far complete the planning page. The
event you will be doing is obviously the Sack of Parihaka.
For the next part I recommend doing two groups that aren't too broad but aren't too narrow such as Parihaka Maori and Government Forces. In what ways were these groups affected? Use your notes.
For the next part I recommend doing two groups that aren't too broad but aren't too narrow such as Parihaka Maori and Government Forces. In what ways were these groups affected? Use your notes.
Now complete Question A.
A
good guideline for Question A is to spend about a quarter page on
background information to give the marker some context to the Sack of
Parihaka. The rest of the page should be devoted to the immediate lead
up and Sacking itself. Be careful not to go too far into the
consequences! You will need this info later and do not want to repeat
yourself.
We
will focus on the next part once I have given you some more
information. You are welcome to email your work to me and I will mark
it for you.
Essay Questions
You will be
asked a question concerning the causes and consequences of a specific
event. Your question lay out will look
something like this:
What were the causes of an historical event you
have studied this year?
What were the consequences of this event?
What were the consequences of this event?
They may add variations to this question such as:
What
were the causes of an historical event you have studied this year?
How did this event affect people, or groups, in society?
How did this event affect people, or groups, in society?
It is
important that you write an essay which answers the question. DON’T
PANIC! If you remember the material
well you should have no issue in doing this.
Link topic and closing statements back to the question.
For Example:
What were the causes
of an historical event you have studied this year?
How did this event lead to conflict?
How did this event lead to conflict?
The
storming of the Bastille led to conflict between French citizens and the
Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror.
Studying:
- Study for this by anticipating essay questions but remember you will always be writing about causes and consequences of the Storming of the Bastille.
- Go through the material we learned in class. Use this blog. Flash Cards or getting someone to test you is a great way of learning facts and dates.
- Write practice essays, paragraphs or essay plans at home. Set yourself exam like conditions (1 hour, no notes in a quiet area.)
- I am happy to mark and give you feedback on any essay or paragraph you produce.
