How to analyze a historical source successfully in an exam

This great resource is designed to be used a stand alone lesson or to be printed off in color, laminated and displayed in your classroom.

It contains a number of color slides which explain to students how to analyse a historical source successful by looking at their origin, nature, purpose, access to information etc… Underpinning this is the use of the acronyms PEEL and CCCJ as potential scaffolds or writing frames to help students structure their answers:

P = Point
E = Example
E = Explain
L = Link

C = Comment
C = Content
C= Context (Source & Knowledge)
J = Judgement

In most of the sliders are examples of sentence starters to help your students get started.

This is a must have resource for any history teacher wanting to make sure that they are equipped with a range of specialists tools for helping their students sharpen up their analysis.
