VCHHC123
Analyse and corroborate sources and evaluate their accuracy, usefulness and reliability
Elaborations
-
developing a set of questions that support student’s analysis of sources
-
recognising the role of ICT in providing access to sources and the need to ask relevant questions of those sources, for example, a Google search for ‘significance of Kokoda’
-
identifying literal and symbolic features of sources and explain their purpose and inferences
-
understanding that the reliability and usefulness of a source depends on the questions asked of it, for example, an account may be one-sided and therefore of use in revealing past prevailing attitudes. Discuss the reliability and usefulness of Martin Luther King’s 1963 ‘I Have A Dream’ speech as a source to assist in understanding the aims and motivations of the US Civil Rights movement
-
corroborating a range of historical sources identifying similarities, differences and inconsistencies
