Trends and forces · 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 how AS91439 defines a trend and a force, and explain what is not permitted as either.
Explain in depth why candidates keep submitting events and individuals to AS91439, when the definition of a trend is printed in the standard and the box on page 2 says "Historical trend".
Comprehensively analyse the relationship between a trend and the forces that influenced it, and why that relationship is harder to argue than a causal relationship between an event and its causes.
Describe what a continuity is in AS91439, and explain why an essay must include continuities as well as changes.
Explain in depth why a continuity adjacent to the change is worth more than a continuity distant from it.
Comprehensively analyse the distinction between a trend's content and a trend's effects, and why the distinction is harder to hold than it first appears.
