  1. The new Higher HistoryTHE HOW FULLY QUESTION

  2. The source contextualisation question (9 marks) How fully does Source D describe/explain…? A judgement must be made about the extent to which the source provides a full description or explanation • Up to 3 marks can be given for the identification of points from the source that support the judgement. Points from the source must be interpreted rather than merely copied. • Up to 7 marks can be given for points of significant omission, based on a candidates own knowledge, that support their judgement. • A maximum of 2 marks will be awarded for answers containing no judgement.

  3. How fully does Source …..describe/explain….(9 marks) 1. Source….partially/partly describes/explains…… (You must make a judgement first) 2. (MOVE ONTO YOUR SOURCE POINTS(3 POINTS)- YOU SHOULD QUOTE AND EXPLAIN BY LINKING TO QUESTION) Firstly the source says“…………………………………………”Here the source shows/illustrates……....(LINK TO QU AND EXPLAIN) Secondly the source says “………………………………………………….” This means that…………………………………………….. The source also states that “…………………………………….” and this links to the question because……………………

  4. How fully does Source …..describe/explain….(9 marks) (3) You should now include a section of recall which details relevant points the source fails to discuss. Make sure each point is linked to the question. Eg.. Howeverthe source does not give a full description/explanation of…………because it fails to mention If the source fully explained …………. we would have expected it to have included…………………. There are also points relevant to the question that are not mentioned in the source. The source fails to mention that…………………………………………. It also should have included…….. ……………………………………… In addition, the source omits to mention that…………………………... Finally it ought to have included………………………………………….

  5. Another Approach to Recall The previous slides have detailed a straight- forward way to answer the how fully and you can achieve 9/9 by using this approach • It is also possible to pick up recall marks however by including information ( from your own knowledge) which is connected or a further development of a source point you have illustrated. E.g. The source tells us that “the artillery were bombarding the German trenches night and day, smashing up the barbed wire.” This is typical of what Scots on the Western Front experienced at the start of a typical battle when it was hoped that heavy artillery would destroy front line trenches and have a mangling effect on the barbed wire. (1 MARK FOR INTERP OF SOURCE)During the Battle of the Somme however, the preliminary bombardment failed to have this effect meaning that as Scots soldiers crossed no-mans land- they were met with devastating machine gun fire and slaughtered in their thousands- with many being trapped in the barbed wire.( 1 MARK FOR RECALL)
