They have a broad understanding that historians can explain the same event through different stories (e.g. the abolition of the slave trade as an economic argument, as the work of white abolitionists, or as a story of slave revolts and resistance). (Reinforced) Evidence Step 7: Learners can comment on the utility of a source as well as its reliability, but they may be confused about how these two ideas work together. They can support comments on utility and reliability by using content from sources that they are given, but this remains undeveloped. (Reinforced) 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’). Evidence Step 8: Learners can distinguish between ideas of utility and reliability, and understand that historians use ‘unreliable’ sources as valuable pieces of evidence. Interpretations Step 8: Learners will understand that interpretations can be tested for validity, but will need a lot of support to begin to do this.
