Top Tips:
Focus on Value – start and end each paragraph with value – really good answers will
refer to value throughout their answer.
Start with Provenance – BUT remember you must always say why the point you are
making is valuable or not.
Don’t default to reliable or unreliable – if there is a problem with the source them
use this to discuss value.
Remember for the Tudor source you are using one source but looking at 2 ideas -
need to plan the source twice,
Like the US source you are looking for claims, opinion, tone and information.
Own knowledge will be used to support or challenge the statements.
Acknowledge limitations.
Make a judgement in your conclusions – the source may be better on one aspect
than another.
Assess the value of the source for revealing the reasons for the Pilgrimage of Grace
and why the smaller religious houses were so important in the North.
Explain your answer using the source, the information given about the origins and
your own knowledge of the historical context. 20 marks
Provenance – who when why how does this influence value
Look out for claims
