According to the standard, what constitutes a "contested event"?

• Any historical event that occurred in New Zealand over 50 years ago.

• An event or issue subject to debate regarding its origins, nature, or consequences

• An event that has a singular, universally accepted interpretation by historians

• A modern political event that has not yet been recorded in history books.

Which of the following is a core requirement for the event chosen for this standard?

• It must be of significance to New Zealanders.

• It must have happened outside of New Zealand but involve New Zealanders.

• It must involve a military conflict or a signed treaty.

• It must be an event where everyone eventually reached a consensus.

In the context of this standard, "different perspectives" can include:

• Only the views of those who were physically present at the event.

• Only the views of professional historians writing in the 21st century.

• Previous historical interpretations as well as modern debates made with hindsight.

• Fictional accounts written to entertain a general audience.

What is the primary role of the student when "analysing" these perspectives?

• To pick the "correct" side and argue why the other side is wrong.

• To act as an historian, explaining the perspectives and why they exist.

• To list as many facts and dates about the event as possible.

• To interview living people about their personal opinions on the event.

To reach the level of "Achieved," a student must:

• Appraise and present a personal opinion on the validity of sources.

• Explain different perspectives of the contested event as an historian.

• Make final judgements on the historical validity of all viewpoints.

• Prove that one perspective is factually superior to all others.

What is the key difference between "Analyse" (Achieved) and "Analyse in depth" (Merit)?

• Merit requires the student to evaluate the validity of the perspectives.

• Merit requires twice as many words as the Achievement level.

• Merit requires the use of primary sources only, while Achievement uses secondary.

• Achievement involves opinion, while Merit involves only objective facts.

To reach "Excellence" (Comprehensively Analyse), a student must demonstrate: A. A summary of the event that is easy for a layperson to understand. B. A list of every person involved in the contested event. C. Thorough engagement with evidence and the historical ideas it contains. D. That they have memorized the entire Teaching and Learning Guide.

• A summary of the event that is easy to understand.

• A list of every person involved in the contested event.

• Thorough engagement with evidence and the historical ideas it contains.

At the Excellence level, what does a student do regarding "historical validity"?

• They ignore it to focus on their own creative writing.

• They make judgements on the validity of different perspectives and draw conclusions.

• They state that all perspectives are equally valid regardless of evidence.

• They focus only on the perspective that is most popular in New Zealand today.
