5 Ws

5 Questions in 1. 5 hoursSlide2

Timing – 1.5 hours for 5 Questions

Start with spending 10 minutes to read through/highlight/note around the sourcesQuestion 5 – 30

minutes (worth 19 Marks!)Questions 1-4 = 50 minutes Slide3

History book

Cartoon

Speeches

Photographs

Posters

Type of Source

Nature ( some things to be aware of)

Diaries

Give a day to day eyewitness, first-hand view, but only one view

Memoirs

Views of someone who experienced the event. May be coloured by hindsight

Posters

Reflect the view of the time. Purpose is to get you to support a view and is often for propaganda purposes

Biography/textbooks

Often well researched and useful

Speeches

Can be one sided and designed to persuade and put a certain point of view across. Slide4

Key Phrase in every Question is..

Use details of the source and your own knowledge to explain your answer

For every question:Use the Words of the Question

Refer to the sourceAdd your knowledge relevant to the Question. Slide5

What to do when you’re given a source…

What does it tell you?Who wrote it?Why did they write it?

When did they write it?Where do their alliances lie? Slide6

The 5Ws

What is it (photo, letter, poster, diary etc)Who is it by? Author?

What does it tell you?W

hy was it produced? Motive ?When was it produced?

The 5Ws

What – propaganda or first hand account? Who

– why published, tone of the language, how reliable? What – quote or say what you seeW

hy - Motive – to criticise or get support?When – what was happening at the time? Slide7

W

hat is it = poster

Who is it by? Government What – woman needed on the land

Why was it produced? Recruit woman to the Land Army?When? 1917-

CK - Only 6 weeks of wheat left due to Uboat campaign. DORA confiscated land and woman put to work on land Slide8

Usefulness:

“How could source A be useful for…”

To tackle this type of question, you need to ask yourself: is the

source relevant to the topic or the question?

However, examiners aren’t trying to trick you! (I promise), If they ask ‘is something useful’ then it almost certainly will be. The question is therefore

how

useful.

So you need to ask yourself the following things…

What information does it give you that could be useful in your study?

Does the information it gives you

provide a complete picture or does it still leave you with unanswered questions?Slide9

How useful is this source to an historian studying the issue of votes for women? Use details of thesource and your knowledge to explain your answer

The source is

useful

because it’s a poster for women suffrage so we can

tell what arguments the Suffragettes were using. They are saying it is

unfair that a woman can be a mayor and not vote while a man can be a lunaticand still vote.

Even though the source shows extreme views and is biased showing women favorably as doctors etc and men in a bad way it is still usefulbecause it shows how women suffrage campaigners used

propaganda to win people over to their cause.Not Useful as only shows one of the methods

used or is unrepresentative of the range of methods usedHowever, suffrage campaigners used many other methods too such as

giant parades, banners, disrupting political meetings and evenfirebombs. Slide10

B useful because it shows the rivalry between Liberals and

Tories

Trying to get support of OAPs Refer to what the poster says

C useful in showing how

Labour was using pensions as a political weapon

to embarrass and criticize the Liberals. Shows the scale of poverty QUOTE

Which source is more useful as evidence of Old

Age Pensions? Slide11

WHO

When

WhatWhy

Why do these sources give different views of the

National Insurance Act? Slide12

Why do these sources give different views of the national Insurance Act?

These two sources give different views because one is from the Liberal Party and the other is from their main opponents the Conservative Party

. Source D is trying to sell the National Insurance Act to people while Source E which is two years after the introduction of the Act is trying to bring about changes to the Act by highlighting how

many people still hate paying for it. Source D was published before the National Insurance Act was passed. It was trying to generate support for the National Insurance Act and to win support for the Liberal Party by showing ordinary working people that the Liberals were helping them. It tries to do this by describing National Insurance as a New Dawn which will provide people with benefits like unemployment benefit and health care. It shows Lloyd George as a friendly doctor. It does not mention that workers had to pay a contribution to these benefits and in many industries it was compulsory to join the National Insurance scheme.

Source E is trying to undermine the Act because it disagrees with it. During this period the Liberal Party carried out a range of welfare reforms like School Meals, Old Age Pensions and National Insurance because it became convinced that the state had to act to help the poorest in society. Many Conservatives believed that people should be encouraged to support themselves and we can see in Source D that Conservative MPs are making this case at public meetings

WHOWhenWhat

Why Slide13

Reliability:

A reliable person is someone you can

trust

to do something

A reliable source is one that you can trust to tell you something

An unreliable source is one that you think might be biased, untrue, exaggerated or otherwise not be trusted.

Usefulness

and reliability are closely linked – but they are not the same thing

.

A source can be unreliable but still useful. It can tell you what a person thinks and what their attitude was.

How

do you test a source for reliability?

Content- relevant to question?

Origin- where’s it from? Who wrote it?

Purpose- WHY produced?

Does the source fit in with your own knowledge of the time/events? Slide14

Trustworthy??

The key is to think about WHO produced the source and WHY?Does it contain fact that agrees with your knowledge?

Look at the tone/language. Does it convey a biased opinion or an angry, critical tone? Is the person trying to persuade??Slide15

Labour MP in opposition to the Liberals wants to make David Lloyd George look bad. Aim to criticise the pension which was introduced in 1909.

Purpose and tone

?Slide16

Trustworthy??

The key is to think about WHO produced the source and WHY?Does it contain fact that agrees with your knowledge?

Look at the tone/language. Does it convey a biased opinion or an angry, critical tone? Is the person trying to persuade??

BE CAREFUL!! Biased sources are still USEFULThey show a person’s opinion at the timeSlide17

Which Source do you trust more?

B is more trustworthy than C. B is a ...

It

tells us

...............................................

I know that

this is true because

.

C is less trustworthy because ..

It makes the factories seem clean and safe. This was to encourage women to work in the munitions factoriesSlide18

How far do these two sources agree about the treatment of suffragettes whilst in prison? (9)

Level 5:

Explains and evaluates the similarities of both sources

, using relevant contextual knowledge, or cross-reference, or

tone/language/purpose supported by detail from both sources. [8-9]

Source C

Prisoners

were held

d

own by force, flung on the floor, tied to chairs and iron bedsteads while the tub was forced up the nostrils. After each feeding the pain gets worse. We cannot believe that any of our colleagues will agree that this form of prison treatment is justly described as necessary medical treatment.

From the medical journal The Lancet published in August 1912

Source D

I can see this because Source C, written in the medical journal The Lancet in 1912, argues that ‘

Prisoners were held down by force, flung on the floor, tied to chairs and iron bedsteads while the tub was forced up the nostrils

’. This suggests that the treatment of suffragette women whilst in prison on hunger strike was extremely brutal.

This is in agreement with Source D. I can see this because Source D shows me a

suffragette woman being held down by force by two members of staff whilst a doctor forces food down a tube into her nostrils. The procedure looks extremely violent and cruel. Around it says ‘Torturing women in prison

’ which further supports the claim the act is inhumane. Slide19

I believe these two sources may agree as they both support my own knowledge that the treatment of women whilst on hunger strike was cruel. As a response to hunger striking, in 1909 the government introduced force feeding. This was a horrendous act which caused much damage to women and created much support for women enduring this.

As shown in source D, the suffragettes publicised to gain publicity and sympathy for women, this is likely to be the purpose of Source D. However Source C has not been produced to create sympathy for the suffragettes, the author is genuinely shocked at how these women were

treatedSlide20

Agree with statement

Apply your knowledgeAdd sources that support what you are saying

Disagree with Statement

Apply your knowledgeAdd sources that support what you are saying

Finish with a balanced conclusion

In

the period 1890-1918 government action improved the lives of people in Britain.’ How far do you agree with this interpretation?

Slide21

I partially

agree with this interpretation. The Liberal government brought in measures to help children like the

School Meals in 1906. Old Age Pensions

also improved lives. As Source B shows, pensioners over 70 got 5 shillings a week or 7s 6d if they were a couple.

Other Acts like National Insurance 1911 improved lives with unemployment and sickness benefit.

Source D talks about National Insurance in 1911 as a new dawn.

On the other hand

, there is an argument that government action did not improve people’s lives, or did not make much difference. Many measures like School Meals were not compulsory so it was up to local councils to decide whether they brought them in. Acts like the Children’s Act were difficult to enforce

often because parents did not even know about the Acts. Although measures like Old Age Pensions helped many old people it was still not that common for people to reach the age of 70.

Source B shows how one woman died because you did not qualify for pensions until you were 70.
