D+THE+INFLUENZA+EPIDEMIC

This page will explain how it started, spread and had an impact. We are using the Influenza Epidemic to unpack one of the Achievement Standards that will be answered in the History exam in November.

This is known as __formative assessment__ which means that we are __practising what is required__ in the exam. In the process we are __honing our skills of understanding__ what is required in the standard. We are also using some different techniques to understand the history

**There are THREE ways to prepare:** **1. __Understand the historical content of an event__** **This means that you need to write a thorough explanation of the event** **2. U__nderstand TWO perspectives of people involved__** **3. __Show how it relates to and is significant for NewZealand__**

Soooo!


 * Understanding the content.**

We started with a little booklet where you were asked to convert the headings into questons that you then answered. There were a couple of reasons for this: 1 . I wanted to diagnose the relationship between your asTTle reading score and a reading activity that asked you to complete some fairly straightforward exercises. 2. I wanted to provide you with the content to answer the 1.6 activity
