Assessments
Our ready-to-use assessment tasks and resources are specifically designed to support NCEA Level 1 and Level 2 History standards. These comprehensive booklets, student instructions, and assessment schedules enable educators to seamlessly evaluate historical understanding and critical analysis within the classroom.
Level 1 NCEA assessment
Standard 92024
Engage with a variety of primary sources in a historical context
Our assessment for NCEA Level 1 History (Standard 92024) supports student learning on the causes and consequences of Kristallnacht.
This task allows students to choose a focus question. Students may then select a variety of primary sources from a Resource Pack, identify their main ideas, and reflect on their strengths and limitations.
Level 1 NCEA assessment
Standard 92025
Demonstrate understanding of the significance of a historical context
Our assessment for NCEA Level 1 History (Standard 92025) supports student learning on the Holocaust and its significance to New Zealand and New Zealanders
By using the primary and secondary sources in the Resource Booklet, students are able to examine significance through Christine Counsell’s ‘5 R’s of significance’ framework. Alternatively, they may examine significance through the lens of impact, whakapapa, tuakiri, or collective maumaharatanga.
Level 2 NCEA assessment
Standard 91229
Carry out an inquiry of an historical event or place that is of significance to New Zealanders
Our assessment for NCEA Level 2 History (Standard 91229) supports student learning on an aspect of their choice within the historical context of Nazi Germany and/or the Holocaust.
Ideally, this task would follow an in-class programme on the Holocaust. Students identify a topic of interest, develop focus question(s) using the examples provided, gather and organise sources, make perceptive annotations on the evidence, and evaluate their inquiry process. This assessment can be used on its own or in combination with the History 2.2 standard.
Level 2 NCEA assessment
Standard 91230
Examine a historical event or place that is of significance to New Zealanders
Our assessment for NCEA Level 2 History (Standard 91230) supports student learning on an aspect of their choice within the historical context of Nazi Germany and/or the Holocaust.
Ideally, this task would follow an in-class programme on the Holocaust. This task is specifically designed to use along with the 2.1 Inquiry. Students communicate key historical ideas through a convincing explanation of their chosen aspect, use supporting evidence and explain the significance of the Holocaust to New Zealanders.
