**[Introduction]**   This **externally assessed** paper is a **skills-based** one and requires no revision in advance of the final NZQA exam. It does, however, require practice in class and at home in advance of November - if you want to be assured of getting the 4 credits, especially at Merit and Excellence!   In 2024, the context will relate to: Changes in Aotearoa New Zealand from 1915 to 1950, with an understanding of social, political, and economic aspects (NZQA published specs).   **[The basic outline (digital exam)]**   You will receive a **resource booklet** containing historical sources e.g. photos, documents, cartoons, secondary text all focused on a topic which the examiner has chosen - it will be an event of significance to New Zealanders, whether it occurred on home soil or overseas. There is also an **answer booklet** which contains **three questions,** each requiring a **paragraph answer.**   **[To do well in this standard you need to:]**   - **RTFQ means Read The Focus Question; UTFQ means Understand The Focus Question; ATFQ means Answer The Focus Question.** - Read the three questions first then **ALL** the sources provided before writing answers. - On this first read through, use a highlighter and/or make margin notes to identify ideas and supporting evidence for each question - you could use different coloured highlighters for different questions and/or come up with codes in the margins e.g. \'Q.1 - C1\' (Question 1 - Cause 1). - Start each question with a general answer to it, kind of like a mini introduction of sorts, then get onto more specific ideas backed with evidence from the sources. - If you are directed to specific sources e.g. \'Refer to Sources A, D and F\' then you MUST only use these in answering the question. If they allow you to refer to other sources too, then do so! - When providing evidence from sources, whether hard facts or quotes, make sure you always identify the source you have got it from in brackets e.g. \"Quote\.....\" (Source A); Hard fact/idea (Source B).
