Resources designed for the new senior Modern History syllabus (implemented in QLD in 2019). The syllabus objectives would also be useful more broadly for English students in other states and countries with an interest in colonialism and Australia’s Frontier Wars (1788-1930s).

PowerPointand lesson plan. Settling activity - copy the definition of bias. Explain the cognitive verb ‘evaluate’ and review concept of modality. Look at some conjunctions (linking words) which can be used in evaluating paragraphs. Subsequently, the lesson explores how to know if the source is useful before introducing the concept of corroborating sources (with a history skills video to consolidate this learning). Look at a sample exam question and deconstruct it. Then look at how to determine if a source is relevant (look at an example which focuses on origin, perspective, context, audience and motive). Then introduce the T.A.D.P.O.L.E acronym for a deeper level of source analysis. Afterwards, there are sources (about the Myall Creek massacre) for the students to evaluate (I use Gradual Release - we do then you do). Finally there is a PEEL/TEEL paragraph writing activity.

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.

Very comprehensive with lots of interesting source material. Useful for British teachers wanting to teach source analysis skills using unfamiliar, or off-specification content.
Hey! So I've recently downloaded and paid for this resource and the PowerPoint isn't opening! I don't want to give a negative review but if you could contact me to fix this I'd appreciate it.
Brilliant resource for those struggling to teach the sensitive topic. Requires students who are self-driven. Can be adapted into group activities for source analysis. I found that I had to scaffold the source analysis skills further to break down complex ideas and processses. Due to the sheer amount of content, worksheets & PowerPoints I was able to split this into 2-3 lessons. Using the first lessons as a 'we do' and the second lesson as a 'you do' using the homework task as an in-class lesson. Easy to adapt and edit. Thanks a lot for the great resource.
