Description

Excelling in the HHD Extended Response is designed to equip teachers with the skills, strategies, and confidence needed to structure and deliver high-quality teaching to support successful learning and completion of Extended Responses that meet VCAA expectations. In this session, we will break down the Extended Response — from clear topic sentences, logical structures, to the synthesis and integration of source material and key knowledge. Through guided examples, practice questions, and feedback, this session will build your skills to teach students how to develop responses that are detailed, coherent, and analytically strong. Whether you're aiming to refine your teaching, or teaching the Extended Response for the first time, this session will offer practical tips and take-home resources to support your students' success in HHD.
