YearYear 1111HistoryHistory 2014 2014

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:

• Medicine Through Time• Tudors and Stuarts & the

English Civil War• 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.• These are too many…• 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.

• And… they are on the wall. Can you see them?

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.

• But the 1.6 must refer to New Zealand society

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)

• This will be given to you in term 1 week 6 and will be due term 1 week 9

Your second assessment – term 2

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

This will be given to you in term 3 week 5 and will be due term 3 week 6

Your third assessment – term 4

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

This will given to you term 2 week 5 and due the same week

Hard work in internal assessments one will definitely

pay off...

What about Tudors and Stuarts?

This term two topic also fits with two different standards:

AS 91002 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 91002 1.2 demonstrate understanding of an historical event, or place 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

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

The last word…The 2011, 2012 1nd 2013 results for level one History students were the best in the

school!!
