  1. Techniques for answering Surgery questions

  2. The Markscheme for Q1 • Level 1 – description of source • Level 2 – valid inferences about LOE, but not supported by source • Level 3 valid inferences supported by details from the source.

  3. What can you learn from source …. about ……(l.o.e.) • Source …. suggests that….. (inference directly related to and using the words of the l.o.e.). This is shown by…..(use supporting details from the source). • One can also infer that…..(as above)

  4. Markscheme – Portrayal Q2 • L4 - Analysis of language/images AND selection of content is used to explain message. • L3 - Analysis of language/images OR selection of content is used to explain message. • L2 - Valid comment about message linked to nature of source (e.g. important because a painting was done about it) • L1 - Valid comment about message BUT no support from source OR detail from source but no message / reference to l.o.e.

  5. How has the author shown?/What impression has been created by….? • Portrayal is the impression or message created by the source. Just like with inferences, you need to make clear what impression you have got AND which part of the source has helped you understand this. • The impression shown is that…………(inference linked to l.o.e.) This is shown by …………. (detail – language or image to back up inference). • The author has shown his/her attitude to …. (l.o.e.) by his/her use of language/imagery. For example… (use detail in source to back up)

  6. Markscheme for cross-reference question • Level 1 – GENERALISED ANSWER -Comment on similarity or difference, without detail from sources OR detail from sources without reference to question. • Level 2 – SUPPORTED ANSWER - Sims or diffs with detail from sources OR diffs explained through reliability of source. • Level 3 – BALANCED JUDGEMENT – Both sims and diffs are explicitly referenced and backed up with detail from the sources. Judgement made about extent AND/OR as above but sims and diffs focus on nature of source (reliability) • NB top marks go to students who use both content and nature of source.

  7. How far does source X support the impression given in source Y about …. (l.o.e.) • Write your answer directly comparing the sources • * Similarities (Both sources suggest that…. Explain how they show this using detail from the source) • * Differences (Source X is different from source Y in that source X suggests……, whereas source Y implies…….) Again you must explain where the inference comes from in the source. • Conclusion. Answer ‘how far’ directly and give reasons why focussing on nature of source, reliability etc.

  8. Markscheme for Utility question • L4 - Comments on specific information related to l.o.e. or lack of specific information related to l.o.e. AND comments on specific reliability too. • L3 - Comments on specific information related to l.o.e. or lack of specific information related to l.o.e. OR comments on specific reliability only. • L2 - General comments on amount of detail AND assumed reliability (e.g. it’s reliable as it’s primary) • L1 - General comments on amount of detail OR assumed reliability (e.g. it’s reliable as it’s primary)

  9. How do we assess sources in history: The ‘TANPLAK’ System • TIME: When was it written/made? • AUTHOR: Who wrote/made it? • NATURE: What kind of source is this? • PRIMARY OR SECONDARY SOURCE: Was it written by an eye witness (i.e. a first hand account)? • LANGUAGE: Does it contain mainly facts or opinions? • AUDIENCE: For whom was it written? • KNOWLEDGE: Does it match up with what I know about this topic?

  10. Which is more useful to the historian who is investigating ….(l.o.e.), source X or Y? • Source x is useful as it gives some information about ….(l.o.e.) For example, (inference + detail). • Source x doesn’t comment however on all aspects of the l.o.e. For example, it doesn’t mention….. • Much of the evidence about (l.o.e.) is reliable (explain why using TANPLAK or CLOINS). • There are, however, some problems with reliability. For example, (explain why using TANPLAK or CLOINS). • Do the same with source Y • In conclusion, source ? is the most useful. The main reason for this is……..

  11. Markscheme for final question • Level 1 (1-4 marks) a general answer that lacks details • Level 2 (5-8 marks) has a range of accurate detail but does not answer the specific question (often like the story of what happened) • Level 3 (9-12 marks) recognises the focus of the question and explains ideas • Level 4 (13-16 marks) weighs up the evidence and reaches a conclusion • NB Answers that do not refer to the sources cannot reach level 3, answers that do not use own knowledge cannot reach level 4

  12. ‘Statement’. How far do you agree? Use your own knowledge, sources x,y and z and any other sources you find helpful • (this order if you disagree with the statement – vice-versa if you agree) • It is possible to agree with the statement. For example, source x implies (use inferences from the sources with back up detail, directly related to the statement. Use your own knowledge to link to the sources and add new information) • On the other hand, there is stronger evidence to disagree with the statement. For example, (see above) • In conclusion, (answer how far directly and provide main reason). Furthermore, the evidence on this side of the argument is more reliable. For example…. Whereas, the evidence on the other side of the argument is les reliable. For example…..
