It helps you ensure that you stick to your schedule and actually complete the workbook. This workbook is also best used if done in regular succession e.g. once or twice a week. If you let it drag on it will have less effect!  \n\n| Tutorial | Date | Time | Location |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 (Baseline assessment) |  |  |  |\n| 2 |  |  |  |\n| 3 |  |  |  |\n| 4 |  |  |  |\n| 5 |  |  |  |\n| 6 (Final assessment) |  |  |  |\n\nContents  \nCourse Rationale P4  \nGlossary of Keywords P5  \nBaseline Assignment P 6  \nLesson 1 P9  \nLesson 2 P 18  \nLesson 3 P26  \nLesson 4 P39  \nLesson 5 P52  \nFinal Assignment P56  \nCourse Rationale  \nThis course has been designed to help you prepare for your history GCSE by focusing on one of the most important aspects of both papers; primary sources. The ability ‘to analyse, evaluate and use sources to make substantiated judgements’ is a core assessment objective and a necessary skill to master in order to excel in the subject.  \nThe work that we complete in this pack will help you to think and write like a historian. You will be weighing up evidence and drawing your own conclusions on usefulness and significance. This will help you to deal confidently with BOTH primary sources and historical interpretations.  \nWhilst the practice you do over the coming weeks will help you especially with the requirements of GCSE history, you will also gain transferable skills to help boost your discussion of historical examples and interpretations. Through effective, regular practice, you can train yourself to produce successful answers under exam conditions. Alongside the history that you learn and the sources that you explore, the following tutorials will provide you with the tools to develop your own analytical skills so that you are prepared for whatever questions might arise.  \nSubject Vocabulary  \n\n| Word | Definition | In a sentence |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Allegorical | When a symbol or metaphor is used to deliver a broader message. Especially in paintings. | The Rainbow portrait of Elizabeth has lots of allegorical imagery to communicate her power. |\n| Hyperbolic | Exaggerated for effect. Containing hyperbole. | The account of the Queen by Edmund Spenser was a very hyperbolic one. |\n| Provenance | Where the source comes from, including who it is by, how it was made and how this is relevant to what the source says. | The provenance of the letter is that it was written in secret at a time of great political upheaval. |\n| Satire | Something which makes a comment on a contemporary issue. | The cartoon of Nixon is a satirical portrayal of his problematic leadership in Vietnam. |\n| Vernacular | The language or dialect spoken by ordinary people. | Martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin to the vernacular. |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |\n\nUse the grid above to add in any of your own words. You can write any further notes/research points in this box!  \nBaseline Assignment  \nWhat is the Baseline assignment?  \nYou should begin this course with the baseline assignment. This will help you gauge your learning as you progress to the end of this course.  \nThe baseline assignments tests the knowledge that you will be learning during this course, so some questions may be challenging. However, by the end of the course you will have mastered a lot of the skills and concepts and can check this using the final assignment.  \nHow useful is this source for a historian looking to understand the problems that Elizabeth faced early on in her reign? You should refer to the source AND your own knowledge in your answer.  \n‘Thou hast set to rule over us a woman, whom nature hath formed to be in subjection to man   Ah, Lord, to take away the empire from a man and","cbCaiuENGVm2tl83","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuENGVm2tl83","pdf",3509180,"English","# Timetable\n## Lessons\n# Contents\n## Course Rationale\n## Glossary of Keywords\n## Baseline Assignment\n## Lesson 1\n## Final Assignment","[{\"question\":\"Why is the author of a source important in source analysis?\",\"answer\":\"Because understanding who wrote it (including motivation and context) helps identify what the evidence can tell a historian and how reliable or significant it is.\"}]","Show me the evidence! - A primary source toolkit for GCSE History - Pupil Handbook | PDF",151]
