Describe the causes and consequences of an historical event
This standard asks you to explain what caused a historical event and what happened as a result of it. You need to pick a specific event (like the 1981 Springbok Tour or Gallipoli) or a broader historical movement (like the suffragettes), then describe both the causes that led to it and the consequences that followed, supporting your answer with specific details like names, dates, and examples.
You describe what caused the event and what its consequences were, using relevant supporting details and showing chronological order.
You explain causes and consequences with greater depth, showing clearer connections and using well-chosen supporting evidence to develop your points.
You provide a thorough explanation of both causes and consequences, with detailed supporting evidence that demonstrates sophisticated understanding of how they connect to each other.
