Historical research · 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 research process AS91434 requires, and what makes a good focusing question.
Explain in depth why the standard insists that focusing questions result from preliminary research rather than preceding it.
Comprehensively analyse what "evaluating the research process" requires at Excellence, and why students find it harder to write than the research itself.
Describe what an annotation must do in AS91434, and give the form of a good one.
Explain in depth why the annotations, rather than the findings, are where Merit is awarded in this standard.
Comprehensively analyse what "initiative" means at Excellence in this standard, and why it cannot be demonstrated by working harder on accessible sources.
