Intro
- It is clear that _____(address question directly) + use the HINGE words = nuance
- However / Whereas / While / Yet ___(introduce each factor, least → most important)
- Ultimately / Overall____ (main)
PARA 1 (least important)
- P: It can be argued / suggested that, ___question wording + factor _______ ; (semicolon to
add A2 depth) ___(bit of development)
- E: Sequencer + evidence (cause / important point)
- A: Adverb + analyse (cause - and - effect to the question as the hinge)
- Repeat 2 - 3x
- OA: Overall, ___question wording + factor ___ (hype up its importance)
- J (includes counter): However, this is not the main reason / most significant / change /
continuity because ___ (undermine to link to overall judgement on the question, 2nd order
principle + make links to other factors)
PARA 2 (mid importance)
- P: In contrast, ___question wording + factor _______ ; ___(bit of development)
- E: Sequencer + evidence (cause / important point)
- A: Adverb + analyse (cause - and - effect to the question as the hinge)
- Repeat 2 - 3x
- OA: Overall, ___question wording + factor ___ (hype up its importance)
- J (includes counter): However, this is not the main reason / most significant / change /
continuity because ___ (undermine to link to overall judgement on the question, 2nd order
principle + make links to other factors)
PARA 3 (main view / strongest factor)
- P: Therefore, it is MOST convincing to argue, ___question wording + factor _______ ;
___(bit of development)
- E: Sequencer + evidence (cause / important point)
- A: Adverb + analyse (cause - and - effect to the question as the hinge)
- Repeat 2 - 3x
- OA: Overall, ___question wording + factor ___ (hype up its importance)
- J (includes counter): Therefore, it is clear that ___ (no counter, overall judgement on
question)
CONCLUSION
- Overall, although it can be argued ___address factor in the question__
- It fails to recognise / Whilst / Although , ____ (address each thing least → most important)
- Relationship between factors + confident undermining of other arguments to bolster your view
- Give each one a ‘thing’ eg - catalyst / long term role / ultimate role, etc
BANK
- Adverbs to link ev + analysis (cause - and - effect) = Clearly / Evidently / Consequently /
Hence / Thereby / This led to / This meant ___ / This failed to / This (verb)__
- Additionally / Moreover / In addition
- Overall analysis = Therefore / Overall
- Evaluation signal (start of counter) = However / Whilst / Although

- Breath & Depth variations
Specification mark scheme (20 marks) → Level 5
Analysis + content
- Key issues relevant to the q explored
- By a sustained analysis
- Of the relationship between key features in the period
Ao1 + q focus
- Sufficient knowledge deployed
- To demonstrate understanding of demands + a conceptual focus of the q
- Respond fully to its demands
Criteria / evaluation + judgement
- Valid criteria by which the q can be judged
- Criteria is established & applied
- Relative significance evaluated in the process
- Of reaching & substantiating the overall judgement
Organisation + clarity
- Well-organised answer
- Logical + coherent throughout
- Communicated with clarity + precision
The second-order principle - identify.
- Causation
- Continuity & change
- Consequence
- Significance
Criteria
- Standards used to judge the issue
- Link in criteria into intro (1st sentence) / point wording + evaluation + conclusion
- Judgements = weave into counters + chains of analysis → its clearly not the most important
because of x, y, z (rule of 3 can be helpful)
Evaluation
- ALWAYS indicate the strength of view
- WILD - widespread, immediate, long-term, developmental / evolutionary / watershed /
significant / overwhelmingly / vital /
- SHIT: partial / limited / somewhat / fairly / piecemeal / nugatory
Tips
- Read the question PROPERLY. Find the hinge words + don’t hallucinate
- Clear expression
- Confident analysis, clear vocab that signals judgement to the question
- HISTORICAL VOCAB -> prove 2nd order principle
- Continuity / change / consequence / cause / impact / significance
