Demonstrate understanding of historical concepts in contexts of significance to Aotearoa New Zealand
This standard asks you to show you understand key historical concepts (like *tūrangawaewae* and *effect*) by describing and explaining how they played out in real New Zealand historical events and situations. You need to pick your own studied context from NZ history and connect it back to these ideas using specific historical details and evidence.
You describe the historical concepts and identify where they appear in the material, using some relevant evidence, but your explanations are brief and mainly descriptive rather than analytical.
You explain both concepts clearly in relation to the material and your chosen context, link your evidence directly to the concepts, and show you understand the 'how' and 'why' behind them.
You demonstrate a thorough, nuanced understanding of the concepts, select only the most relevant evidence, explicitly explain how your chosen context reflects the concepts, and construct arguments that you then support with evidence.
