NSW Aboriginal Studies Stage 6 structure, expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Aboriginal Studies” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.
Colonisation, law and policy, and the continuing struggle for rights and self-determination.
Land, Country, kinship and identity, and the relationship between them.
Research ethics, methodology and the Personal Interest Project.
A Aboriginal Studies paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| analyse | Short answer | 3–5 |
| discuss | Short answer | 3–5 |
| evaluate | Short answer | 3–6 |
| evaluate | Extended response | 8–10 |
| explain | Short answer | 3–6 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
| justify | Short answer | 4–6 |
HSC Aboriginal Studies - Written Paper Shape — 100 marks, 150 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
