Source Analysis and Interpretation Questions (Questions 1-3)
Comparing interpretations is all about spotting content differences, not just saying they disagree. You've got 5 minutes to identify one clear difference and back it up with quotes from both sources. Start with "One way that interpretations A and B differ about [topic] is..." then show what each source actually says.
When explaining why interpretations differ, focus on provenance using PANDA (Purpose, Author, Nature, Date, Audience). The key is connecting the background to the viewpoint - don't just list facts about who wrote it.
For the most convincing interpretation question, forget about provenance completely. Instead, use your contextual knowledge (SPAD - Statistics, People, Evidence, Dates) to test each interpretation's claims. This is where your revision really pays off!
Top Tip: Never waste time on provenance in question 3 - examiners want to see your historical knowledge, not source analysis skills.
