To score highly you must evaluate the sources by analysing their provenance and make a judgement regarding how far they support each other in answer to the question set. The best way to do this is to use historical knowledge to contextualise the sources and interrogate their provenance. There are 5 marks available for spelling, punctuation and grammar.
