HOW TO STRUCTURE YOUR ANSWERS

How useful/accurate/reliable answer structure 5 marks

Paragraph one – origin and purpose

Discuss the origin of the source. Use the word origin in your answer!

Who wrote it?

  • Who is the source from –- relevance?

Where and When was it written?

  • When is the source from – relevance?
  • Where is the source from – relevance?

Discuss the purpose of the source. Use the word purpose in your answer!

  • Why was this source produced? For example, to put forward a certain argument; media – to shape view of reader; government memo – to highlight/inform policy.

Do not write about origin and purpose in the same sentence!

Paragraph two – content

Go into the content of the source and explain what points the author is making (use short quotes and/or paraphrase).

  • You can also add recalled knowledge that supports points made in the source.

Paragraph three – recall

A source is never going to exhaust all relevant points.

Consider

  1. Relevant recalled knowledge which supports the view of the author.
  2. Relevant recalled knowledge which challenges the view of the author.

BECAUSE

Source comparison answer structure 5 marks

Overall

Deal with the big picture comparison first of all.

  • 1 mark for identifying judgement about the extent of agreement or disagreement
  • 1 mark for accurate outline detail from source explaining areas of agreement/disagreement,.

In detail

  • Consolidate this comparison by explaining what they agree or disagree on specifically.
  • Quote a phrase from Source A and quickly explain it, then match it with a phrase from Source B that mirrors or contradicts it.
  • Repeat this four times.

EXPLAIN

Source contextualisationanswer structure 10 marks

Treat these 10 mark questions like mini essays. Everything you write about must answer the question asked.

Remember that a ‘how far’ question asks you a more specific question than a ‘how fully’ question.

Remember that a ‘how fully’ question asks you a more widely contextualised question than a ‘how far’ question – DISCRIMINATING question.

DO NOT LIST

Your answer will comment on the fact that the source contains limited information.

  • The source partly explains …..

Select relevant points made in the source (use short quotes and paraphrasing). Take each in turn and comment on the significance in answering the question. Beware of distractors!

  • Firstly, the source says “….” and this is relevant to the question because …. X 4

You can expand on points in the source and further develop them with a relevant piece of recall (make sure you are clearly expanding with a separate point and that it answers the question). These counts as part of your 7 recall points.

There are also points relevant to the question not mentioned in the source.

  • Information not in the source that is relevant includes …. X 7
