[Updated; 30th April 2009]

Well, I'm still quite uncertain about my S.S. Notes from last year, cause if you look at the top of the uploaded page, you'll realise that it's not quite condensed with PEEL and all. So here's the essential things you need to know for SBQ and SEQ to get your full marks.




UPDATE: Our social studies teacher has told us that the most recent markers report has stated or implied that for 'usefulness' SBQ questions, they would prefer that 'tells' and 'shows' be used rather than 'states' and 'says' as this indicates a higher form of thinking and inferential skills rather than simple regurgitation (unless you're quoting for evidence, then it's quite unavoidable). So, essentially, an example of a cross-reference in a paragraph would be:

Source B is useful as it tell us that ..... .... and this is supported by source C. -insert evidence here- Since source B is supported by source C, it is reliable, and hence, useful.

That's all.(:
