These are additional 5–15-minute source tasks, not mandatory homework. Use them when a class needs a longer lesson, another example or a second attempt. IDs A–E refer to the core practice cards; I/J transfer the same source skill to the different QCAA Industrial Revolution option. F–H stay unseen before Days 5/10. An I/J swap is a comparison, not coverage of a second full topic. A swap never turns a US exemplar into the required Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander topic or an Asia topic. For another school-selected topic, use the same question structure only after checking an authentic topic-specific source with the school.

Day Swap 1 · another evidence move Swap 2 · another evidence move
1 B: ask what Abigail Adams requested; separate that from whether Congress granted it. Industrial option I: ask what the inspector said he heard; explain why one report cannot describe every mill.
2 B/E: compare a private 1776 concern with a 2021 archive summary; mark source kinds. Industrial I/J: compare an inspector's account and a later enforcement table as different record purposes.
3 A/C: contrast an equality ideal with Article II's state powers; avoid equating them. Industrial J: distinguish “an after-hours case appears” from “the 1833 law solved child labour.”
4 B/A: place March and July 1776 in order, then state why a letter predates the Declaration. Industrial I/J: order 1836 report, 1862 case and 1863 compilation; label event versus publication.
5 After submitting Check A, use B to ask whether different colonists wanted different changes. Industrial I: after submission, compare a petition's request to an inspector's recorded observation; keep topics distinct.
6 C/D: identify how a state-power provision differs from an international recognition clause. Industrial J: ask whether an administrative offence list directly records each young worker's own words.
7 D/C: write a question the treaty answers that Articles II cannot. Industrial I/J: ask which source helps study alleged long hours and which helps study recorded enforcement.
8 E/A: identify one phrase in A that the later archive account asks us to examine critically. Industrial I: trace the boys' reported words through an inspector's account; name the missing direct interview.
9 A/B/D: build a second argument on whose views our document set does and does not contain. Industrial I/J: argue only that selected alleged breaches were recorded; reject a prevalence estimate.
10 After submitting Check B, revisit E to compare later archive interpretation with the two fresh records. Industrial I/H: after submission, compare source type and young people's missing voices; do not equate slavery with factory employment.

Longer assignment seed: select two verified additional sources representing an affected group and a decision-making institution in the chosen school topic. Record creator, date, original holding institution, excerpt, reason for selection, rights and potential limitations. Have a teacher approve source safety and historical accuracy before display or reuse. Do not make up a First Nations voice or ask students to perform a trauma scene.
