Causation and consequence Step 6: Learners understand that events have consequences as well as causes and can describe, in simple terms, one or more of the consequences of an event or development in isolation from other consequences. Causation and consequence Step 7: They may be starting to prioritise some causes as more important than others, but the explanation or reasoning behind this remains weak. Evidence Step 7: Learners can make supported inferences about the past by using a source and the detail contained within it. Interpretations Step 7: Learners are able to link the construction of different interpretations to the use of different when deploying historical knowledge, although this may be patchy. Evidence Step 8: Learners can support their comments on sources by using source content and sometimes by referencing the provenance of a source. Interpretations Step 8: Learners can explain how and why an interpretation may have been constructed using points relating to purpose, viewpoint, background, source availability and selection. This may remain quite deterministic and simplistic (e.g. ‘Historian X wrote this because he was from France’). Analytical narrative Step 7: Learners’ narrative accounts of the past are sometimes analytical, but they struggle to link this to a particular key concept. There is an attempt at organisation, but this defining the importance of particular causes or groups of causes, but there will be a lack of organisation or sustained argument.
