The Assessment Criteria for Achieved for this essay expects you to describe an important situation in its historical context. Secondly describe how the situation changed over time. It must be structured and organised in an appropriate format.
The first part means explaining what the situation is and the time frame it is set in. (Context). Merit expects 'Detail' which means discussing the parties involved, being careful with correct names and dates. Excellence expects discussion of the differing viewpoints held by parties concerned.
Changes in the situation expects a description of change over time - being careful to follow any time frame (restrictions) in the question (watch for 'before' and 'after') as you will get no credit for information that is not pertinent to the dates expected. Merit asks for an evaluation which means making a judgment, looking at changes and stating whether they were good, bad and using evidence to back up your ideas. Excellence is looking for 'comprehensively evaluate... influenced people' which simply means how changes in the situation affected people from a range of backgrounds. Some reference to Historiography may be useful.
The correct format expects an essay with introduction, body and a conclusion. Merit expects you to develop an argument, while Excellence asks for a convincing argument. Again names and dates are expected to be accurate (Maori names especially). Being logical means following a logical series of paragraphs that build on your argument - chronological order is probably better.
