How do i structure a 'How reliable is source...' Question? Help Please

I'm unsure of the best way to structure this question. At GCSE level I got told to use COP (Content, Origin, Purpose) and have now been told not to use this. What is the best way to gain full marks. PLEASE REPLY

Just quoting in Danny Dorito so she can move the thread if needed :wizard:

I'm assuming this is A Level History,

I've got a year of AS level experience writing these and my teachers have been great about helping us structuring it.

The easiest way to do this is by dividing it into three chunks: source A, Source B and comparison. Once you have done this divide the source sections into provenance (part a) then content and context(part b). Make sure you are mentioning whether the source is partisan (biased) and relate it to prior knowledge. This has always worked and resulted in good grades for me so I hope this helps you!
