Hi Susie!
I was just wondering with Question 2 and the Case Study, is there a specific way to answer the question, is it the same as Q1 just with the debate incorporated or is it just discussing the historians and their points of view??
Because so far, I've been taught for question 2 to just write about the historians and their point of view and I am a bit unsure how I would incorporate 'what is history' ideas with it.
Hey! I wrote my Section II essays very similarly to a 'What is History' essay, just paying a particular focus to the historiographical issues that impacted upon Western Imperialism (my case study). So I'd usually centre each paragraph around a particular histioriographical issue, such as conflict between academic and popular history, to what extent history is written for the present, role of ideology, etc. etc, linking the historians of Western Imperialism throughout, and analysing their perspectives specifically, rather than just incorporating any historian or historiographer like in Section I
So I'd discuss the historians views, in relation to the impact of said historiographical issue
Oooohhh
Sorry but I'm going to add onto your question hehe, for question 2 my school studied two debatable arguments i guess you can say, if I just write on one thesis is that alright?
Thanks

and thanks Jess for letting me piggyback onto your post
It'll specify in the question how many debates they want you to discuss - as far as I'm aware it's usually two, so you'll want to have a solid understanding of both!!
Hope this helps!
