Year 11Year 11HistoryHistory 2011 2011

What’s it all about???

• NCEA- National Certificate of Educational Achievement

• 24 Credits available – we will be doing 20 credits this year

• 12 internal (at school) and • 8 external (in the November exams)

Internal Credits

• These are given for work done during the year.

• During this year you will be offered 12 internal credits.

• This means you will have to produce three pieces of work for your teacher to mark.

• Each piece of work (called assignments or assessments) is worth 4 credits.

Grading

Your work is given one of four grades:• Not Achieved – you get no credits for this• Achieved – 4 credits• Merit – 4 credits• Excellence – 4 credits

Endorsements

If you get a lot of credits over the year with Excellence or Merit you will get an

endorsement certificate from NCEA and a badge from the principal !

Ooops!

• If you make a boo-boo and get Not Achieved you may be given the chance to fix it up.

• If you make a tiny stuff-up which means you did not quite get the next grade up, you may be given the chance to fix it up.

Moderation

• All of your assignments will be marked at school and double-checked by other teachers this is called moderation.

• The school will keep all of your work for a year.

• Some of it will be sent to Wellington for checking – more moderation.

How long will I have to complete my assessments?

• You will be given class-time and you are expected to do some work at home.

• If you have time-management issues you must discuss this with your teacher before the due date.

Topics

This year we are going to study three topics:

• Black Death and the Peasants’ Revolt and the 1918 Flu Epidemic

• Tudors and Stuarts• The French Revolution

But it all seems so complicated...

• It will seem a little complicated at first.• Your teacher understands what is required so

don’t worry too much.

The Standards

• In year 11 history there are six standards.• This is too much.• So, at our school we will be doing five

standards.• Three during the year and two in November.• This means that the history exam in

November will only be two hours for you.

Here are the standards...• AS 91001 1.1 Carry out an investigation of an historical event, or

place, of significance to New Zealanders (internal)• AS 91002 1.2 Demonstrate understanding of an historical event, or

place, of significance to New Zealanders (internal)• AS 91004 1.4 Demonstrate understanding of different perspectives

of people in an historical event of significance to New Zealanders (internal)

• AS 91005 1.5 Describe the causes and consequences of an historical event (external)

• AS 91006 1.6 Describe how a significant historical event affected New Zealand society (external)

(note that the standard AS 91003 1.3 Interpret sources of an historical event of significance to New Zealanders – is not there)

Confusion

• You will be confused by the numbers and big words. Don’t worry. You will have a copy of these in the front of your exercise book.

How does it all work?

• Your teachers have read the standards and knitted them together with the topics.

• This means that if you work hard on the internal assessments they will help you to pass the external assessments

A plus?...

• In NCEA history you can often answer the external (November) exams on just one topic you have studied.

Your first assessment – term 1• AS 91001 1.1 Carry out an investigation of an

historical event, or place, of significance to New Zealanders (internal)

• AS 91002 1.2 Demonstrate understanding of an historical event, or place, of significance to New Zealanders (internal)

You will be given these two assessments to do together. That is why you get quite a long time to do them. Your teacher will show you some

examples of what is required.

1.1 Carry out an investigation of an historical event, or place, of significance to New Zealanders

1.2 Demonstrate understanding of an historical event, or place, of significance to New Zealanders (internal)

• So how does the Black Death fit with the part of the standard that says ‘of significance to New Zealanders’?

• The Black Death and its consequences will give you background for the first internal assessments (1.1 & 1.2) which will be about the 1918 Flu Epidemic that killed more people than WW1.

As luck would have it....If you work well on these internals (1.2 &1.2) youshould have enough information to also do:

AS 91004 1.4 Demonstrate understanding of different perspectives of people in an historical event of significance to New Zealanders

(internal-at school)

AS 91005 1.5 Describe the causes and consequences of an historical event

(external-November)AND/OR

AS 91006 1.6 Describe how a significant historical event affected New Zealand society (external - November)

Hard work in term one will definitely pay off...

What about Tudors and Stuarts?

This term two topic also fits with two different standards:

AS 91004 1.4 Demonstrate understanding of different perspectives of people in an historical event of

significance to New Zealanders (internal)

AS 91005 1.5 Describe the causes and consequences of an historical event (external)

And The French Revolution...

AS 91004 1.4 Demonstrate understanding of different perspectives of people in an

historical event of significance to New Zealanders (internal)

AS 91005 1.5 Describe the causes and consequences of an historical event (external)

Connections...

In the Tudors and Stuarts and French Revolution topics there are definite areas ‘of

significance to new Zealanders’

School exams in September

During the practice exams you will attempt the external standards 1.5 & 1.6 and

also do the 1.4 internalThis is worth credits remember!

We will also practice these before you sit the school exams.
