Analysing evidence · Part 1 of 3
6 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 8 quick multi-choice questions — every question on this part of the standard, grouped by the 2 pages of notes they come from.
Write a full answer before you reveal the model one. That comparison is where the learning happens.
Describe the kinds of source that appear in a historical source set, and describe the three skills involved in analysing them.
Explain in depth what separates extracting meaning from comprehension, and why an answer can be completely accurate about every source and still contain none of it.
Comprehensively analyse the claim that a set of sources supplies everything a reader needs in order to interpret it, and where that claim breaks down.
List the historical concepts a source set can be read for, and describe what each one asks you to look for.
Explain in depth why continuity is harder to evidence from a set of sources than change is, and what a reader should look at instead.
Comprehensively analyse why an unreliable source can be the most useful evidence in a set for a historian studying attitudes, and how far that reading can be pushed.
