This is a worksheet to utilise with the SBS series First Australians Episode 4: There is no other law. This resource was made for use in an 11 Modern History classroom in Queensland, Australia. I have also included a scanned copy of my teacher answer sheet. According to SBS, “First Australians chronicles the birth of contemporary Australia as never told before, from the perspective of its first people. First Australians explores what unfolds when the oldest living culture in the world is overrun by the world’s greatest empire.” Episode 4 focuses on Central Australia 1878-1897. This episode of First Australians gives an excellent academic account of the first 50 years of contact between the Arrernte people of central Australia and the European missionaries, pastoralists and police. Throughout the history of white settlement, individual white men, good and bad, have significantly affected the first Australians. Supported by pastoralists keen to make their fortune, the homicidal police officer Constable Willshire, brings mayhem to the Arrernte nation in Central Australia. With the authorities turning a blind eye, the telegraph operator Frank Gillen stops him. Gillen’s other legacy is keeping comprehensive records of the Arrernte people’s way of life.

A free resource (handout) designed to prompt students to deconstruct the IA3 example and identify how the layout, the content and writing style work simultaneously to produce a high-quality response to the task. The handout features: questions about the number of primary vs secondary sources, approximate word counts for different sections, questions about how the intro was structured and what the hypothesis was, questions about specific vocabulary choices made by the writer in their responses (including conjunctions) & questions which prompt the students to read the information provided by the QCAA in the margin notes about how best to address particular criteria. The handout also includes information about how to reference particular source types in APA formatting. This handout is intended to be used alongside the QCAA sample IA3 response written in October 2018 NB: This is about a different topic (The Cold War) so as to avoid student over-reliance on the exemplar.

An interactive lesson created for use after the practice exam to introduce students to the key historical figures and events they needed to know for their actual exam. Students were given a topic and their own guiding question - they were provided with a PowerPoint full of sources to use as a starting point they were also allowed to conduct their own research on The State Library of Queensland Website. Afterward they were to create a poster (to be completed for homework) so that in the following lesson they could teach the class about their ‘expert topic.’ This resource includes a sheet of the topics (Kalkadoons, Battle Mountain, Native Mounted Police, Sub-Inspector Beresford and Sub-Inspector Urquhart) and guiding questions. It also includes the four PowerPoints of sources which students accessed. I pride myself on the quality of the materials I produce, I don’t charge high prices because I don’t agree with paying £10 for a wordsearch. If you need to check before you buy, have a look at some of the free resources in my shop for a sample of the quality and depth.
