5. Sounding like historians…
At the moment, your gradebooks do not sound like they are written by aspiring historians... They contain a lot of informal language, ambiguity and lack sophistication.
You will be split into groups, where you will work on one element of vocabulary.
Group 1 – Banned words
Group 2 – Bringing in evidence
Group 3 – Being analytical
Group 4 – Making a judgement
If you want to sound like a historian, you need to read some proper history books! Reading history books will not only give you extra facts and details, but will expose you to how real historian’s write! If you are struggling to understand what historians say in Tudor extracts, part of the reason why is that you are not exposing yourself to written academic history!
Use Kagan to create the groups

6. GB3: America Sources
Adapted from The New York Herald, September 8, The New York Herald was a Northern, popular and controversial newspaper.
Within the short space of two days, the House of Representatives has passed four of the most important measures connected with the slavery agitation, which grew out of the acquisition of new territory through the Mexican War. Leaving only the Fugitive Slave Bill and the bill for the abolition of slave traffic in the District of Columbia to be disposed of, the former having been passed by the Senate and the latter being now under consideration in that body. The whole of this disagreeable subject will, therefore, be shortly wound up and a check put to the ultras and fanatics of different sections of the Union, who have exerted themselves to keep alive the slavery agitation and maintain an estrangement of feeling between the Northern and the Southern States. The subject, therefore, which has caused so much uneasiness to the friends of the Union everywhere, as well as to the admirers of our political institutions at home and abroad, is set at rest in a manner satisfactory to all.
With reference to this source and your understanding of the historical context, assess the value of this source to an historian studying the Compromise of 1850.
On a whiteboard, write down what this question in your own words.

What was quite clear with regards to this question, is that you did not understand what the source was saying. This was a past paper, and is therefore of a standard that you need to be able to access. This was not particularly a ‘hard’ source, the language used and arguments within the source are very reasonable, given that you are A Level History students.
TASK: Each table will take a sentence and write it down but in your own words.
