GCSE History Edexcel. The American West.

How do I answer exam questions when it says "Explain the importance of...".
Example: "Explain the importance of the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1893 for the settlement of the west." and "Explain the importance of the development of mining towns for law and order in the early west." BOTH 8 MARKS.
Intro: clearly state opinion
Para 1: Point, evidence, explain, link to question (PEEL)
Para 2: Point, evidence, explain, link to question (PEEL)
Conclusion: quickly summarise what you wrote and again state opinion
You could say “in the short term, it was partially important because…. However, in the long term, it was more important because….”
