To score highly you must evaluate the sources by analysing their provenance and make a judgement regarding how far they support each other in answer to the question set. The best way to do this is to use historical knowledge to contextualise the sources and interrogate their provenance. There are 5 marks available for spelling, punctuation and grammar. Misspelling or misuse of the words bias, biased, source and provenance will be judged as failure to use specialist terminology correctly.

‘Student protest in Britain in the 1960s occurred on a small number of occasions and was too confused in its objectives to achieve meaningful political changes.’ How far do Sources A–C convince you that this statement is correct? Use the sources and your own knowledge to explain your answer. (20 marks, plus 5 marks for spelling, punctuation and grammar and the use of specialist terminology.)
