Title: Society (Sparta) exam question (regarding evidence)
Post by: palebluedot on September 16, 2018, 02:21:10 pm
Hi all!

Just wondering, for our society, when are we required to start encorporating evidence into our responses? is it around the 5 marker questions? or only in the 15 marker?

I've spoken to two different teachers and both have said something different :(


Anyone know?


Thanks!

Hey!

My teacher said to start including them in all questions, except for the two marker (which is usually just a naming question.) You would only need one source though for a 3 marker, and it can just be a passing reference. There will, however, always be different opinions about where to include sources, so just do whatever feels right for you. I imagine that there's probably no exact marking criteria which specifies that you must have a source for a 3 marker, but it's more just another way to push your answers to the best they can be. 

Hope this helps! :)
