Hey All,

OK, Historiography has got me F**KED over at the moment. :chainsaw: Like seriously, how can I improve my marks in Section One of the paper. Does anyone have like notes their teacher has given them on writing these style of essays? I've been kicking ass in JFK Case Study but the rest is really letting me down, esp when my teacher marks as hard as all shit. If anyone has a guide to writing good "What is History" essays can you please tell me. I know it's a dumb question but grrrr! Damn shit!

Cheers!

Always refer to the source, structure your essay in relation to the source.

It's not all about "what is history?"
Remember there are five core questions to that part of the course.
Use a variety of historians and Demandred is very correct - structure your response around the source - pull out what you can from it and work with it
