In this standard, you need to write an essay explaining how a major historical event caused two different outcomes. You'll pick the event and the two consequences, then show how they connect back to that event—with evidence and explanation to back up your ideas. The better your essay, the deeper and more detailed your analysis needs to be.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Pick a significant historical event (a specific event, a movement over time, or a person's role in history) and identify two clearly different consequences that resulted from it
- ·Explain how each consequence directly links back to the event—show the cause-and-effect connection with supporting evidence
- ·Develop your ideas using detailed historical evidence (facts, dates, statistics, examples, or quotes) that strengthens your explanation
- ·Organise your essay in a conventional structure with an introduction, developed paragraphs, and conclusion that makes your ideas clear and logical
- ·Move beyond just describing what happened by analysing and evaluating the historical significance of the consequences
AAchieved
You examine two different consequences of an event and make basic links between them and the event, using some supporting evidence in a conventional essay structure.
