3. How to answer source questions

Bitesize GCSE History

Available for over a year

Datshiane and Katie’s focus is on developing the skills needed to effectively answer source-based questions. It begins with understanding what a source is and how it can be analysed. A key consideration is assessing the usefulness of the source by incorporating contextual knowledge. This involves evaluating the provenance of the source, such as its origin, purpose, and the perspective it represents. They’ll help ensure that you directly address the question posed - if asked about the usefulness of a source, provide a clear judgment and justification in your response. Presented by Datshiane Navanayagam and Katie Charlwood Written and produced by: Julian Mayers Exec Producer: Alison Vernon-Smith A Yada-Yada Audio Production for BBC Bitesize and BBC Sounds
