Higher Modern Studies - How to answer the reliability source question

This free resource includes a front cover should you wish to collate these documents into a booklet for pupils.

This set of resources relates to the reliability source question that can be downloaded freely from the SQA website or from these direct links:

Also included is a table of a number of different types of source that pupils may face in this type of question (although the list is not exhaustive). Pupils could use this table as a reference guide. It is a word document so it can be edited easily to add more sources should you wish.

Also included is a task for pupils to attempt whereby they have to think critically about different types of sources of information in terms of their reliability. This could be transformed into a card activity or a carousel task.
