Edexcel A-Level History Source Questions?! A*/A History students?

Hi all,

If anyone got an A/A* in Edexcel A Level History or is currently studying it and is getting top marks on the source questions I would be SO grateful if you could share with me the technique/structure you are using.

I kind of know the paper 3 one but I'm lost for 1 and 2. I'm doing the Russia, GDR and British warfare topics, but obviously it doesn't matter too much what the modules are for structure.

Our teachers are not good and we have not been given a set structure.

Thank you!

Hey, you've come to the right place. Starter for 10 - you say you've not been given a set structure? Shout if this is old news, but I'd usually say start here: https://bc6f.org.uk/attachments/article/111/PEEL%20Your%20Essays%20to%20Answer%20the%20Question%20Well.pdf
If this isn't what you're looking for let us know.

PEEL can be used for the knowledge questions but there are specific ways to answer the source questions with specific things that need to be addressed as far as I know, I just don't know what they are and how to structure them in an essay, so in essense no, not really what i need, but thanks anyway
