This is probably easiest for the primary evidence. For example, you may consider the motives for producing letters/images etc to do with migration.

This might most easily be demonstrated through considering the points made in Hugh Laracy’s article (pp.60-61) re Maori and colonisation.

Perhaps use this side for FQ1 of your essay (‘PUSH/PULL forces’) • The best use might

be to include key points, ‘hard facts’ and anything else difficult to remember on here.

EXEMPLAR (This is obviously for a different topic.) I will check off your template when you bring it in to write up your essay. Note how FULLY this is completed!!! This stays in-class with me ‘overnight’ and then you can use it again the next day. Any additional research you do overnight comes back only in your head!

Skill: Paragraph Writing

•Paragraphs explain only ONE MAIN IDEA each. •Because paragraphs ‘open the door’ to understanding they are like a KEE (KEY!) Key Idea Sentence –tells the reader briefly what ONE MAIN IDEA is going to be talked about in the paragraph Explanation – these next sentences tell the reader about the main idea in some detail Example – to back up what you’re saying, give one or two examples, just like a lawyer needs evidence to prove a point by providing facts. K E E ‘Hard facts’ include:

• Names of people, places or events • Dates • Statistics • Short quotes, by people at the time

AND/OR historians (historiography)

Key Idea Sentence

Remember, your Key Idea Sentence should:

1. use the words from the question (ATFQ!)

AND

2. introduce to the reader the main point that the paragraph will cover.

Writing an Essay The main job of an essay is to communicate information clearly to the reader. (Usually, an essay responds to an Essay Question.)

To do this, essays follow a certain structure: •INTRODUCTION – this tells the reader briefly what’s coming up in the main body. •MAIN BODY – this contains paragraphs that communicate the information •CONCLUSION – this summarises the essay and tells the reader briefly what they’ve just read! Conclusion Introduction Main Body

Connectives – for linking points within a paragraph
