5. What do I need to do in a useful question Need to look at the content, origin and purpose of both sources Content- What does the source say… it is useful because it shows us that…. or it suggests that…. Origin- who said it? When? Does that make it useful? Purpose- why was it said? Who to and why? Biased?- does this add to it’s usefulness? Do the sources have limitations or has anything been left out? Remember a source can be unreliable but is always useful in some way.

6. This is mainly a source based answer. Your Own knowledge should be used to comment on the source and its provenance/reliability etc What own knowledge do you think you would use in this particular question? (restrictions? Attitudes at this time?) It is a judgement question so make a conclusion and you can explain why you think one source is more or less useful than the other.
