Ministry of Education For use in internal assessment from quality assurance status 2006 The following guidelines are supplied to enable teachers to carry out valid and consistent assessment using this internal assessment resource.
 * Teacher Guidelines: **

Context/setting: This assignment requires completion of independent research on the role of fate and the gods in the lives of humans in the Roman world. Research will be demonstrated by selecting evidence from secondary sources and from the Aeneid, analysing the evidence and reaching conclusions based on the evidence.

Three weeks of class and homework time are suggested for this assignment. This is an individual open book assignment. It is envisaged that the assignment be of approximately 1500 words. In order to ensure authenticity and prevent plagiarism, providers should ensure that school procedures such as bibliographies, referencing, and logging of work are followed.
 * Conditions: **

Resource requirements: Access to a range of resource materials should be available.

Additional information: The story of the Aeneid up to the end of Book IV will have been read in class. The circumstances and fate of characters such as Laocoon, Priam, Creusa and Dido will have been discussed.

Task 1 will allow the learner to select secondary source evidence and Task 2 will allow the learner to select primary source material, thus meeting the evidence requirements for achievement of the standard. A range and wide range of evidence must include both primary and secondary source material. Tasks 1 and 2 will allow the learner to analyse evidence. Task 3 will allow the learner to reach conclusions/ developed conclusions based on the evidence selected.

The assessment schedule uses the death of Amata to provide examples of evidence, analyses of evidence and conclusions reached.

“Doomed to Die?”
= Supports internal assessment for: = = Achievement Standard 90514 version 2 = Complete independent research on an area of the classical world. Credits: 6 Student Instructions Sheet

** There are three tasks for this assignment - you must complete all three tasks to achieve this standard. **
You are required to write approximately 1500 words for this assignment. You have three weeks of class time and homework time to complete it.

In the Aeneid the cost of founding Rome is high in human suffering and death. Fate and the gods were thought responsible for this, just as they were considered responsible for men’s lives in general. From your class work up to the end of Book IV of the Aeneid, you will be familiar with these themes and with the deaths of such characters as Laocoon, Priam, Creusa and Dido.

Task 1 Select evidence from secondary source material which will allow you to analyse the nature of fate and the gods in the Roman world and the influence of fate and the gods on the lives of humans in the Roman world. You should write approximately 1000 words for Task 1.
 * To achieve in Task 1 of this activity, you must discuss methodically the evidence you have selected and show that you understand it. A range of evidence will allow you to achieve with merit and a wide range of evidence to achieve with excellence. ||

Task 2 Choose THREE of the following (Nisus and Euryalus count as one) characters from the later books of the Aeneid and select evidence which will allow you to analyse the role of fate and the gods in the deaths of each of the three.


 * Misenus || Palinurus ||
 * Deiphobus || Nisus and Euryalus ||
 * Pallas || Turnus ||


 * To achieve in Task 2 of this activity, you must discuss methodically the evidence you have selected and show that you understand it. A range of evidence will allow you to achieve with merit and a wide range of evidence to achieve with excellence. ||

Task 3 Using evidence from both Task 1 (in a general sense regarding the lives of humans) and Task 2 (specifically regarding the three characters you have chosen), draw at least three conclusions in total about the way in which fate and the gods influenced the lives of humans. Developed conclusions may show, for example, an appreciation of the wider context of the lives of humans and of the Aeneid or an awareness of the significance of the conclusions reached.
 * Conclusions based on a range of evidence are required for achievement with merit in Task 3 and developed conclusions based on a wide range of evidence are required for achievement with excellence in Task 3. ||

Definitions

Analyse means discuss methodically and demonstrate understanding of the area of the classical world.

Developed conclusions may be characterised by: recognition of the complexity of the argument, justification of the conclusions, appreciation of the wider context, awareness of the significance or limitations of the conclusions.

Selection of secondary source evidence.
 * **task or question** || **evidence towards achievement** || **evidence towards achievement with merit** || **evidence towards achievement with excellence** ||
 * **Task 1**

Analysis of secondary source evidence. || Relevant evidence is selected to allow analysis of the nature of fate and the gods in the Roman world e.g. “The Romans believed in the existence of Olympian gods such as Jupiter and Juno and that Jupiter also represented fate.”

Evidence is analysed by methodical discussion and demonstration of understanding of the influence of fate and the gods on the lives of humans in the Roman world e.g. “The gods played a large part in the everyday life of the Romans and one’s success could be attributed to how pleased the gods were with the rituals carried out.” || A range of relevant evidence is selected to allow analysis of the nature of fate and the gods in the Roman world. e.g. “The Romans believed in the existence of Olympian gods, such as Jupiter and Juno, and lesser spirits such as //numina// and that Jupiter represented fate, which governed the eventual pattern of one’s life.”

Fate could not be changed, but events along the way might follow a different pattern, because of human desires and behaviour.”’ || <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">A wide range of relevant evidence is selected to allow analysis of the nature of fate and the gods in the Roman world. <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">e.g. “The Romans believed in the existence of Olympian gods, such as Jupiter and Juno, who were king and queen of the gods. They also believed in lesser spirits such as //numina//, who were believed to inhabit all areas of nature, and that Jupiter represented fate, which governed the eventual pattern of one’s life, one whose outcome could not be changed.”

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; margin-right: 0cm;">A wide range of evidence is analysed by methodical discussion and demonstration of understanding of the influence of fate and the gods on the lives of humans in the Roman world <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; margin-right: 0cm;">e.g as merit, plus “….human wishes. A god would look favourably on a prayer couched in the correct terminology and addressing the correct deity and if a prayer was not successful it was thought the fault of the petitioner for not praying correctly or offering a contract of some sort.” || <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">Selection of primary source evidence.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">**Task 2**

<span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">Analysis of primary source evidence. || <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">Evidence about the deaths of two characters is selected <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">e.g. “Queen Amata believes that Turnus is dead, and, insane with grief, hangs herself.”

<span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">The role of the gods in each of the two deaths is analysed e.g. “The gods played a part, since Allecto, sent by Juno, had driven Amata insane, as part of a plan to set Turnus against the Trojans.” || <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">Evidence about the deaths of three characters is selected <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">e.g. as for achievement.

<span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">As for achievement, but for three characters. || <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">Evidence about the deaths of three characters is selected <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">e.g. as for achievement.

<span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">As for achievement with merit <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">(analysis of a wide range of evidence has been provided in Task 1). ||

<span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">Conclusions based on evidence. || <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">At least two conclusions in total are reached, based on the role of the gods in the lives of humans in general or in the deaths of characters in the //Aeneid// <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">e.g. “Amata’s death shows that the gods did not consider the happiness of humans when taking the actions they did to ensure Aeneas’ destiny was fulfilled.” || <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">At least two conclusions in total are reached. At least one should be based on the role of the gods in the lives of humans in general and one based on the deaths of characters in the //Aeneid// (therefore reaching conclusions based on a range of evidence) Alternatively, the conclusions pertaining to one aspect only may in themselves be based on a wide range of evidence and this will be acceptable.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">**Task 3**

<span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">e.g. as for achievement, plus “The gods were only interested in the correct rituals of religion, not a person’s happiness. If a prayer was not granted, a petitioner was made that it was his fault for not carrying out the required procedure.” || <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">At least two developed conclusions in total are reached. At least one should be based on the role of both fate and the gods in the lives of humans in general and one based on the deaths of characters in the //Aeneid// (therefore reaching conclusions based on a wide range of evidence). Alternatively, the conclusions pertaining to one aspect only may in themselves be based on a wide range of evidence and this will be acceptable.

<span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">e.g. as for achievement with merit, plus “Amata’s death shows that the gods did not consider the happiness of humans when taking the actions they did. This is all part of Juno’s plan to thwart fate and stop Aeneas marrying Lavinia and settling in Italy; she is not interested in the personal outcomes for any of the humans concerned, only in acting as counter-fate to Jupiter’s role of fate, working against her to see that Aeneas settles in Italy so his descendants can found Rome. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Fate was oblivious to the desires of humans when ensuring its own completion and Jupiter only intervened when told that his plans were being disrupted.” || <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif; margin-right: 0cm;">Note: <span style="font-family: Arial Mäori,sans-serif;">Any numerical requirement is indicative only. It should not, of itself, preclude the achievement of any particular grade. Final grades will be decided using professional judgement based on a holistic examination of the evidence provided against the achievement criteria of the achievement standard.
