Using critical texts · Part 3 of 3
3 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 4 quick multi-choice questions — every question on this part of the standard, grouped by the 1 page of notes they come from.
Write a full answer before you reveal the model one. That comparison is where the learning happens.
Explain what synthesis means in AS91479 and describe how you would structure a response that demonstrates an informed understanding.
A student writes one paragraph on each of their three critical texts, then a fourth giving their own view. Explain, with reasons, why this structure cannot produce synthesis, and describe what to do instead.
Respond critically to the view that genuine synthesis is beyond a secondary student, because it requires knowing a field well enough to see what the sources have missed.
