Consult Appendix 1 and use the two primary sources listed for your essay question. For some questions, you are expected to make an appointment with the Australian History Museum and locate your own primary source. For others, you are expected to find a collection of primary sources in the library and choose your own sources. Do not use any other sources for this assessment task.
Instructions: Answer the following questions about each source:
- What does this source tell us about its own contemporary context?
- Does your answer to question 1 confirm or contradict your synthesis from Assessment Task 1? You should provide evidence to back your answer up.
- What does this source tell you about the past that is relevant to your essay question?
Then, answer this question about the two sources together: - Having now read and analysed two secondary and two primary sources, how would you answer your chosen question?
