By this point, students should have done their initial notes about their sources (a C.A.M.P.O.R.U.M). I made this PPT to take students through an example I wrote for a different topic (Indigenous Land Rights – Wave Hill). I chose different types of sources to model how I would analyse and evaluate these specific types.

1. Political Cartoon
2. A transcript of a speech (primary source)
3. A photograph
4. Textbook Extract
5. Song – From Little Things Big Things Grow
6. News Article – 50th Anniversary
7. Primary source included within a textbook

Resources designed for the new senior Modern History syllabus (implemented in QLD in 2025). The end of term assessment for this unit was an Independent Source Investigation.

The content would also be useful more broadly for students in other states and countries with an interest in the China (1931-1976). The other resources are also available in my store – Aussie_Resources.
