Type 3 - How Far/Fully Questions Each worth 10 marks You need to decide how far or fully a source describes an individual topic (how far) or an entire issue (how fully) How far – might be on a small topic within an issue – e.g. decline of heavy industry (which is in issue 3 – economy) How fully – relevant to an entire issue – e.g. Issue 1 Scots on the Western Front

Type 3 - How Far/Fully Questions How marks are allocated: Points from source – max of 4 marks Points from recall – max of 7 marks

How to answer according to SQA…

Type Three – How far/fully does Source A give evidence of…? 1.Give a brief introductory statement about the source mentioning the highlights and pointing out that the source partly describes the topic/issue 2.Select relevant points from the source - develop each point with relevant recall 3.Bring in your own knowledge (recall) and discuss other relevant points that are not mentioned in the source OR expand on a point in the source with relevant detail 4.End your answer with a short conclusion that answers the overall question

So… 1.Brief overall statement – partly describes 2.Points from source, developed 3.Own knowledge – points not in source OR expand on points in source 4.Short conclusion answering question

Other points from SQA for all paper 2 questions… 1.Marking is positive and relates to the points made 2.For credit to be given, points must relate to the question asked 3.If relevant evidence is selected, from either the source and/or recall, but no explicit evaluation is made then the maximum mark that may be achieved is 3 for questions out of 5 and 6 for questions that are out of 10. (This means that implicit evaluation will still be credited, but only to a notional maximum of 18/30)

Other points from SQA for all paper 2 questions… So if you don’t give an overall evaluation for how far/fully questions the most you can get is 6/10 This is why intro sentence and conclusion are necessary

Top Tip! Before answering a how fully/how far question write down a checklist of all the things you think you should mention. This acts as a simple plan for your answer. Do your source/content answers with recall and tick the points off your list. The points not mentioned will be your recall points – remember separate paragraph & give some details.

How Far Issue 3 Source C The First World War was the salvation of many Scottish industries. By 1918 the production of coal had picked up to such an extent that over 140,000 miners were employed in Scotland. Coal was the vital power source of the age and few could have predicted the difficulties it would run into in the following decade. However it was vital for the production of everything from ships to machine guns. Perhaps the greatest beneficiary of the war was the Jute industry of Dundee which saw a massive boost in its orders for sandbags for the Western Front. The downside was the massive increase in the population which led to even greater housing problems. This added to the misery of a workforce already suffering food and clothing shortages. How far does Source C give evidence of the affect of World War 1 on the Scottish economy between ? 10 marks.

How Far Issue 3: MI From Source. By 1918 the production of coal had picked up to such an extent that over 140,000 miners were employed in Scotland. – pre-war decline in coal industry reversed However it was vital for the production of everything from ships to machine guns. - vital in production steel/iron/North Lanarkshire coal fields Perhaps the greatest beneficiary of the war was the Jute industry of Dundee which saw a massive boost in its orders for sandbags for the Western Front – 6 million sandbags per month This added to the misery of a workforce already suffering food and clothing shortages – refers to rationing introduced March 1918/red meat/sugar etc. From recall Unemployment – Full employment, lack of male workers caused massive increase in female workforce, higher wages etc e.g. munitions industry in Gretna employed 30,000 female workers. Rationing: People encouraged by propaganda to eat less. Rapid rise in prices for food due to shortages helped farmers. Health of nation improved due to lack of red meat, sugar etc. Farm: Helped farmers during wartime by food shortages caused by submarine blockade and demand for home grown food. Farm workers wages doubled during war. Loss of certain products was boost to Scottish farmers e.g. increased demand for Scottish lamb as supplies from Australia in interrupted or grain/wheat from USA & Canada. Scottish sheep farmers boosted in wartime by government orders for wool to make uniforms, blankets etc. Ship building: - Clyde boosted by orders for warships and merchant ships sunk in war. 481 ships built on Clyde during war, most ever. Aberdeen and Dundee shipbuilding also boomed e.g. replacing smaller fishing vessels. Coal/ Steel/Iron: Boosted by war time orders for steel for munitions, ships e.g. Steel output doubled during war. Jute In Dundee many orders for sandbags during war boosted industry, 6 million sacks per month. Fishing: Years before 1914 boom time for Scottish east coast herring industry. Demand for fish increased due to wartime food shortages. Fishing fleet hampered due to wartime restrictions e.g. targeted by German navy, fishing ships commandeered by British navy, herring industry moves from east to west coast. Europe.
