GCSE Source Paper - Question 2 @ IvoHistory
This question will ask you whether one source is supported by two others – you usually are asked to use sources A, B and C – e.g. does C support A and B
Start by writing about whichever source is mentioned first - in this example C.
1. Write about C – what is it suggesting?
2. Briefly explain what A is suggesting
3. Now compare source C with A – what do they suggest is the same? Are there any differences in what they are suggesting? Use the wording “C supports A” or “ C does not support A..”
4. Briefly explain what source B is suggesting
5. Now compare source C with B – what do they suggest is the same? What is different?
6. Explain in general how the sources agree or disagree with each other. Remember that they still give a insight into (whatever the subject matter is)
YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMMENT ON THE RELIABILITY OF THE SOURCES – THIS JUST WASTES TIME AND GAINS NO EXTRA MARKS
