that the author/artist’s purpose was to……….. This is
because………..
Why?
One reason for (line of enquiry – l.o.e.) comes from Source E.
This is that ……………(inference). I know this because…………….
(detail from the source)
Another reason was that (infer from the source if there are more
reasons and remember to back up with detail from the source. If
not, use and EXPLAIN your own precise (FACTS!) knowledge)
I also know that a further reason (for the l.o.e.) was ……….. (use
and EXPLAIN your own precise (FACTS!)knowledge).
Finally, the most important reason (for the l.o.e) was …. (use and
EXPLAIN your own precise (FACTS!)knowledge). This was
particularly important because…..
Useful?
Source x is useful because it provides information about ……. (line of enquiry).
For example, it suggests………..(inference). I know this because….. (detail).
There are also limitations to the information it provides. For example, it
doesn’t comment on….
Source x is also useful because it can be regarded as reliable. For example….
(explain using NOP or TANPLAKS). There are, however, some issues with
reliability. For example…. (explain using NOP or TANPLAKS).
Source y is useful because it provides information about …….
(line of enquiry). For example, it implies………..(inference). This is
shown by….. (detail). There are also limitations to the
information it provides. For example, it doesn’t comment on….
Source y is also useful because it can be regarded as reliable. For example….
(explain NOP or TANK). There are, however, some issues with reliability. For
example…. (explain NOP or TANK).
In conclusion, source …. is the most useful because ….. Explain
the main reason…….is it information or reliability? Why?
2 sides of the argument + judgement
There is evidence from the sources which suggests…………. (use the
words of the question for 1 side of the argument. Infer from these
sources and use detail to back up your points)
My own knowledge could also suggest the same………. (use own
knowledge to back up this side of the argument)
On the other hand, there is stronger evidence to suggest …….. (use
the words of the question for the other side of the argument.
Infer from these sources and use detail to back up your points)
Likewise, I know that……………. (use own knowledge to back up this
side of the argument)
In conclusion, I believe ………..(use the words of the question to give
your judgement on the quote). The reliability of the sources also
helped me make this decision. For example……… (use TANPLAKS on
the named sources in the question)
• The author chose to include a
carbolic spray cannister in the
image because it suggests the
purpose of the source is to
highlight how important Lister
was in ending infection in
surgery through his use of new
technologies.
• The use of the text at the bottom of the
source makes the reader think that the
purpose of the source is to inform and
teach other surgeons about Lister’s
techniques, for example <quote>. This
shows that the author agreed with
Lister’s ideas. This was necessary
because there had been opposition to
the new ideas, such as that it took too
long to complete surgery and that it was
damaging the surgeons’ hands
• The fact that this source was published at
this time – 1882 – shows that the
purpose of the source was to inform
people about Lister’s ideas to advance
surgery and improve the overall
standard. This shows that Lister’s ideas
were the best on offer at this time and
that, despite opposition, it was being
used to teach other surgeons. Lister was
now a professor so he had a lot of
authority in this area of surgery
