1. Difference between ‘Description’ and ‘Explanation’
WHY
May explain why the National Guard were there in the first place (i.e. that Orval Faubus ordered them to prevent the 9 students from entering)
WHY
May explain why there was a protest organised outside of the school (i.e. that governor Orval Faubus in a televised address called upon residents of Arkansas to block the entry of these students insisting that ‘violence and bloodshed might break out if Black students were allowed to enter the school)
WHY
May explain the reasons why Elizabeth Eckford is alone in the photo (her family did not have a telephone and didn’t get news of the carpooling – so she arrived separate from the other 8 students)
WHY
Could explain the reasons why the event happened (linking in to Brown Vs Topeka)
