Marking scheme

BandMarksDescriptor
Mastered9–11Applies historical sources in exam questions fluently, including in unfamiliar contexts, with clear justification.
Secure7–8Reliable in routine questions; reasoning is mostly complete.
Developing4–6Secure in scaffolded items, inconsistent once support is removed.
Emerging0–3Needs re-teaching of the core rule before progressing.

Teacher notes

  • Set the warm-up as a five-minute starter; it diagnoses readiness for historical sources in exam questions before you teach.
  • Guided practice is the pivot point — circulate here rather than during independent practice.
  • Mark the reasoning questions with the marking scheme bands, not raw totals, so progress is comparable across variants.
  • Students who band Emerging should repeat the Easy variant of this same subtopic before moving on within Historical Sources.

Common student mistakes

  • Confusing historical sources in exam questions with a neighbouring idea in historical sources.

Teaching tips

  • Model one worked example of historical sources in exam questions under a visualiser before handing the sheet out.
  • Ask students to predict which question they will find hardest, then check the prediction afterwards.
  • Pair Developing students with Secure students for the guided practice block only.
  • Use the answer key as a self-marking station rather than collecting the sheets in.

Extension activities

  • Challenge worksheet on historical sources in exam questions with justification-only questions.
  • Design your own historical sources in exam questions question and write the mark scheme for it.
  • Link historical sources in exam questions to the next subtopic in Historical Sources and explain the connection.
  • Ten-minute timed practice to convert accuracy into fluency.
