Basic Requirements
1.Analyse the questions and determine the target skills
2.Determine the core skills required (CR, CK) Note: Support for an inference/identified issue/CR must come immediately after statement

Inference Questions

(topic/issue)? Infer message • What is the cartoonist’s/writer’s opinion
in drawing/writing (source)? Infer opinion - support/ dn support
• Why did (who e.g. cartoonist/writer) produce (source)? Infer purpose

Inference Question
Format for dealing with purpose
“The purpose of this source is to show (an issue/ message) so that people will do (an action)”
Check to ensure you’ve linked back to answer the topic stated in question
![Page 7: Answering Source-Based Questions. Basic Requirements 1.Analyse the questions and determine the target skills 2.Determine the core skills required (CR,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f0c5503460f94c1fa10/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Comparison Skills

is (a source) from (another source)?
How similar/ different are the 2 sources…?
How far does (a source) support (another source)?
1-sidedHow are the 2
sources similar/ different in telling you about…?

Comparison Skills
Initial Response:Study sources to mark out what each
source is sayingIdentify matches (both similarities and
differences) in ‘drafts’, in terms of Provenance, Content, Tone, Purpose
Reasons/causes
Process/methods
Results/consequences
Opinions/POV

Comparison SkillsAssertion…
However,
Conclude…
Yes, the sources are similar about (an issue)Sc A says (support) & (explain), and Sc B says (support) & (explain).Thus the sources are similar or support/ confirm/ concurs with one another
The sources are different in what they say about (another issue).Sc A says (support) & (explain), but Sc B contradicts Sc A by saying (support) & (explain).Thus the sources differ/ do not support each other
Compare purpose, if applicable… (remember PAMI)

Utility
Typical Question Format• How useful is this source in telling
you about (an issue)?• How useful is this source in helping
you to understand (an event/topic)?
![Page 11: Answering Source-Based Questions. Basic Requirements 1.Analyse the questions and determine the target skills 2.Determine the core skills required (CR,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f0c5503460f94c1fa10/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Utility
Initial Response• Analyse the topic first, think of answers
to (topic/event)• Look at source and pick out the
information that checks/does not check with source
• Answer the question

UtilityAnswer Format Assertion…
However,
Conclude…
Yes, Sc A is useful bec of what it says about (an issue). I know from… (CR to other sc or CK- specific details)
Sc A is limited bec a Missing information (on issue) – be specific on what’s missing either CR to other sources or CKb Fallacy? Or other anomaly… Explain…
Enhanced usefulness:Purpose discuss using PAMI reliability affected >/< useful.

Utility
NOTE: • “less reliable” source can still be useful
to one’s understanding of an issue/topic
• eg although the source’s reliability is limited, it is still useful in showing us that there were opposition to the Tsar’s rule in just before the Feb Revolution
![Page 14: Answering Source-Based Questions. Basic Requirements 1.Analyse the questions and determine the target skills 2.Determine the core skills required (CR,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f0c5503460f94c1fa10/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reliability
Typical Question FormatDoes the source prove
(success/failure etc) about (a topic)? Do you believe what the source says
about (an issue)?• How reliable/credible/right/wrong is
the source in telling me about (an issue)?
![Page 15: Answering Source-Based Questions. Basic Requirements 1.Analyse the questions and determine the target skills 2.Determine the core skills required (CR,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f0c5503460f94c1fa10/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reliability
Initial Response:Again, briefly list what you know about
topic before analysing the sourceCheck knowledge against the source.
Reliable (checks)/ not reliable (conflicts)Write answer- remember to answer the
question directlyNote: Test the reliability of the source
based on what it says, not what it doesn’t say
![Page 16: Answering Source-Based Questions. Basic Requirements 1.Analyse the questions and determine the target skills 2.Determine the core skills required (CR,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f0c5503460f94c1fa10/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ReliabilityAssertion…
However,
Conclude…
Yes, I believe the sc/ the sc is reliable about (issue)Sc A says (evidence) & by CR to Sc B / CK which states (specific evidence) & (explain to link to issue), Sc B confirms that Sc A is reliable about (issue)
Sc A is not reliable / is not true about (issue), because Sc A says (evidence) & (explain) but Sc B says (contradicting info) OR I know that (CK). Thus, ….
Test for Purpose (PAMI)Note: Missing info may be mentioned here to mislead audience/ exaggerate making source more/ less reliable about (issue)
![Page 17: Answering Source-Based Questions. Basic Requirements 1.Analyse the questions and determine the target skills 2.Determine the core skills required (CR,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083008/56649f0c5503460f94c1fa10/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
General Pointers1. React logically to the question- identify the
anomaly (if there is one)2. Make a stand (with support of course)3. Plan your answer (within 1/2 a min)4. Start each sub-question (1a, 1b etc) on a
fresh page5. Leave a line after each paragraph written6. Make sure you have understood the source
well before you begin writing- do not quote out of context or misinterpret the source!
