Paper 2 Source Analysis Flashcards
example question: similarity//difference
nco of sources
similarity (quote) (attitude? purpose?)
differences (quote) (attitude? purpose?)
why are they similar/different? how do they differ/agree? (bias? person who wrote them?)
how to answer similarity//difference
- NCO of sources
- the sources agree in their content/attitude about…
- the sources disagree about…
- to summarise, the sources agree/disagree about…
example question: purpose
why was this source published at this time?e
how to answer purpose question
- the source is (context content comment)
- purpose( is the source trying to change people‘s opinions or attitudes)
example question: surprise
are you surprised by source A?
how to write an answer: surprise
- NCO of sources
- yes i am surprised by the source because….(are the events described in the source surprising in the context of that time?)
(is it surprising that the origin of the source is saying what they are saying at this time) - i‘m not surprised by the claim… because….
- considereing the fact that …. has written tjis, it makes me more/less surprised
how to answer conclusion
- NO OF EACH SOURCE, RELIABILITY OF TWO
- sources that agree with statement and why (add quote as evidence) ((source a agrees with the statement. it is a….. it agrees because……
- sources that disagree
- do the sources mostly support these statements or not?
utility question?
- this source is a (NCO)
- it was created to (purpose)
- how reliable is it? (bias? time? photograph?)
- utility: what can we learn from it? what can‘t we learn from it?
comparison/realiability: does source x prove source y is wrong?
the sources agree that.
the sources disagree that
source x is (reliability
source y is (realiability)
therefore source x does prove/does not prove y is wrong as (reliability, agreements disagreements)
