Teacher-only planning note

Senior source work should produce usable thinking, not just dense note-making. Students should leave this template with a clear historical judgement, a sense of the source’s limits, and a writing direction they can act on.

Strong fit

Interpreting past experiences, decisions, and actions using historical evidence and taking account of context, values, and the information available at the time.

How this resource aligns

The template requires provenance, context, perspective, corroboration, and final judgement, which are core historical inquiry moves rather than surface comprehension tasks.

Social Studies Historical inquiry Evidence-led interpretation

Te Mātaiaho Social Studies `TM-SS-3-ANZH-D1`.

Strong fit

Examining literary, historical, cultural, and social context and using evidence from a text to support conclusions about purpose and meaning.

How this resource aligns

The senior prompt set supports Phase 4 English by pushing students to interpret perspective, omission, and meaning rather than just identify content.

English Phase 4 Context and meaning

Te Mātaiaho English `ENGLISH-18e4b01dbf`.

Aotearoa lens

Senior Aotearoa inquiry should help students test how archives, power, translation, and mātauranga Māori shape what counts as historical knowledge.

How to teach this well

Pair official sources with Māori-led voices wherever possible and make corroboration a real move, not a decorative question at the end.

Mātauranga Māori Corroboration Knowledge and power

Best used before counter-narrative writing, seminars, or source-based assessments.
