just a quick one; the mark scheme mentions different types of sources, this means different primary sources right?

My read of it:

2 x historical interpretations

3 x primary sources. It requests (requires?) different “types” meaning, book, speech, poster, newspaper article, sermon, etc

Hiya! I did alevel history last year, no you do not need to include secondary sources, i was just told to include 3 primary sources, infact it was stipulated that we couldn't do secondary sources and it had to be primary. Hope this helps :smile:
