Feminist Movements - 11 Modern History - Practice Exam Task Sheet, Scaffolding and Sources

A practice exam designed to give students the opportunity to practice meeting the key criteria and writing an essay under time constraints.

The examination is an 800-1000 word essay in response to historical sources (2 hrs + 15 minutes planning time). Included in this resource are:

• A task sheet for the practice exam which includes scaffolding and a reflection for students to complete at the end.
• 12 sources which I chose along with their reference details and appropriate context statements.
• A booklet of lined paper for students to write their response on
• A peer review checklist to be used in a subsequent lesson

Resources designed for the new senior Modern History syllabus (implemented in QLD in 2019). Designed as part of a unit entitled Women’s movements since 1893 which has the scope to span from when Women’s suffrage in New Zealand became law to the present. Our school decided to focus on the Second Wave of Feminism for our assessment (while briefly touching on the other waves of feminism). In Unit 2, students form their own knowledge and understanding about movements that have emerged in the Modern World. Our class focused on the removal of discrimination and exploitation based on sexism. Through our depth study we investigated the Women’s Rights Movement focussing on the changes in goals, strategies and challenges across the ‘waves’ of feminism between the late nineteenth century and today. The other resources are also available in my store - Aussie_Resources. The end of term assessment for this unit was an essay under exam conditions.
