AQA A Level History 7042, Paper 3 Historical Investigation The Struggle for Civil Rights in America, 1865-1968 The role played by key individuals was most significant factor in the advancement of American Civil Rights in the years 1860 to 1970 . To what extent do you agree with the above statement.
Your A2 History Coursework: FAQ. The coursework for A level is worth 20% of your final grade and it is the part of the course which is within your control. The more work you do, the better your mark will be .. and vice versa! Bibliography: You should also include a bibliography which includes not only the books and source material referenced in your footnotes, but other materials you have read as well. Look at the reading lists for examples. What do you have to do? What Skills Do You Need To Demonstrate? Length: Your coursework should be approximately 3,000 - 4,500 words long. Content: You need to analyse and evaluate, in depth, at least two differing interpretations (historians views). You can use more historians views but you do not have to evaluate/analyse them in the same depth. There is no requirement for you to use more than two. The coursework is evaluating four key skills. 1) The ability to explain a historical debate, using evidence to support your explanation 2) The ability to make a judgement on a historical debate, using evidence to support your judgment 3) Analysis of primary source material and analysis of historians views (interpretations) NB The books you use for the historians views MUST be proper academic books, i.e. not textbooks. Most of the books on the booklist in your coursework booklet are suitable, if you are not sure, check with me. 4) Evaluation of primary source material and historians views (interpretations) You need to analyse and evaluate, in depth, at least threedifferent primary sources. Again, you do not need to use any more than three, but you can. In order to get the best marks you should aim to find three different kinds of primary source, e.g. oral history, speech, voting register, diary, letters. You can use photographs or artefacts and/or film, but you would need to reference those carefully and at least two of your three sources should be written. Analysis means demonstrating your understanding of the source or interpretation by explaining its meaning and using evidence to demonstrate your understanding. Evaluation means making a judgment as to how accurate or convincing a source or interpretation is by using historical evidence to support or refute it, and by using the provenance of a source to judge its reliability in the light of its context. Footnotes: It should have footnotes, where you reference every quote you use (both secondary historians views, - and primary). This should include the page number if it is from a book or a journal. So, when researching it is essential that you take accurate details of any quote/source you use. The source skills needed for the coursework are the same as are needed for the source question for Weimar & Nazi Germany and the extracts question for Tudors (with one difference). However here you get to do the analysis and evaluation in more depth. NB The coursework does ask you to evaluate the interpretations based on who/when they were written which you don t have to do in the exam. You do not have to reference/footnote anything unless it is a direct quote. Any books you have read can be included in a bibliography which must also be accurate and complete. You should, therefore, make sure you take down the details of any books you read - including date of publication and publisher. Details of footnoting and how to write the bibliography are in the coursework booklet. How Are The Marks Allocated? 20 marks - available for your argument, understanding, explanation and judgement this includes accurate footnoting and bibliography There are instructions on how to footnote correctly later in the booklet, and examples showing how the books we have available in school should be footnoted in the attached reading lists. 10 marks available for analysis and evaluation of primary sources 10 marks available for analysis and evaluation of secondary interpretations
How should I Structure My Answer? Use this booklet as a scaffold and do a paragraph at a time. You have blank pages to plan your paragraphs and blank pages to note your bibliography. There is no set structure to follow, but it is advisable to structure it in themes rather than chronologically. Where do I find historians' quotes & historical evidence? It could also work to structure your essay similar to your Unit 1 and 2 essays where you present your argument throughout, ensuring balance. There are reading lists at the back of this booklet that show you what we have available in school. This includes in the folder on MyLearning, and Ms Quinn s books. Where Do I Start? The first thing to do is to find your debate. So, if your question is The Federal Government had the greatest impact on civil rights Assess the validity of this statement in the context of the years 1865- 1968. you need to find a historian who has the view that the federal government (or a branch of it) was very influential. You then need to find a historian who either thinks that the role of the federal government has been exaggerated, or who thinks other factors are more important. The reading lists are divided into 3 categories. All of them can be used as sources of historical evidence, but be more careful using them as sources of quotes from historians: Historians Interpretations these are books which have an opinion and can be used to provided points of view for the debate. Textbooks These books are historical overviews and excellent sources of historical evidence. Because they are summaries and giving an overview they should not be used as one of your two main historian s views. You could possibly use them Once you have found your two historians you can start looking for your main primary sources. Your three primary sources can either support or refute your main argument, or do both. But remember, you are trying to construct an argument so if all your primary sources support one side of the argument, you better make sure that your judgment echoes this! Try to pick sources from a range of eras, you have 100 years to cover! Primary Sources These are primary sources, often by the leaders themselves. It is best not to use them as one of your historian s viewpoints speak to staff before doing so! Once you have your primary sources you can begin to construct your argument. When looking for the broad conclusions, opinions and arguments of a historian, the best place to look in a book are: the introduction (make sure you quote the actual author if it is a preface written by someone else!), the first or introductory chapter, the last chapter, or the start or end of the chapter about your topic although you can find quotes elsewhere as well! You will need plenty of historical evidence to support or refute the historians, and in order to put your historians and your primary sources into context and allow you to evaluate an analyse them. For primary sources, the best place to start is with the Primary Sources sections of your reading lists. You can also get primary sources from books by historians and textbooks IF the quotes they have used are sufficiently well referenced for you footnote the original source properly. The reading lists are a starting point! Use the references and bibliographies of books to go further!
