Causation & Consequence Change and Continuity Using Evidence Analysing Interpretations Knowledge and Understanding (Key features and Chronology) S Can identify and LIST a number of different causes/consequences of an event, but with little explanation of how those causes and consequences are LINKED. Can describe change using key features of periods. They can explain that changes often happen as a result of events or actions by individuals. They are beginning to analyse which changes are more important than others and the reasons why. Can select relevant information from different sources to answer questions about the past. They are beginning to analyse and comment on the subjectivity (bias) or reliability of a source and can distinguish between fact and opinion within it. Can identify a range of differences in accounts about the past and can also describe how an event or person has been viewed or portrayed in different ways by different people. They are beginning to talk about the messages that it might send to people viewing it. Uses some dates and key terms to explain the key features of life/society in different periods. Provides some relevant examples or evidence to support the points made, although some key points may be missing. Gives a basic opinion/judgement about the past, but with weak justification. D Can give two or three reasons why an event happened or identifies two or three consequences of an event, but shows little awareness of how they are linked. Can describe some historical changes that took place in different periods. They can identify some trends and developments (e.g. technological progress) but with little accuracy or linking to chronology Can use sources to answer questions about the past, but tend to accept sources at face value or assume that some sources tell us the truth while others are lying. They are beginning to identify bias, but do not offer any possible or valid reasons for this. Can identify and give simple descriptions of two different or opposing interpretations of an event or person, but they may still be inclined to look for the interpretation that is most ‘true’, whilst assuming that others must be false or lying. Are beginning to use some dates and key terms. Gives a simple description of the key features of life and society in different periods. Offers a basic opinion about the past, but has not used many specific/relevant examples to support the points made. Overall judgement is asserted, but not explicit/clearly explained.
