Intro:1.Start with defining your question requirements2.list
down points you want to use for support and counter 3. state
stand
Body:Point(you need to be well-versed with your egs first,then
you will be able to come up with structured points answering the
question.)>>>main
Evidence: Refer to your notes or do extensive research
outside the notes(e.g.wikipedia)
Analysis:With reference to the point,how does your evidence
relate to your supporting/counter argument or your
point?>>main
Link:Restate how the analysis goes back to the main issue
Based on the above,History essay focuses on critical thinking
skills rather than plain memory work.You need to be able to
categorise and you your info wisely.
Generally,if you prefer SBQ style>>I suggest Econs if you
are taking H1
If you like critical analysis essays>>I suggest
history.
Just like you,I was in your shoes,debating to myself which
should i choose,econs or history??I chose history as I prefer
writing over SBQ.(FYI>>I have no experience of history in
secondary sch)
General understanding of contexts will guide you far >>•
assessing different interpretations of an argument
• formulating own ideas about a subject
• presenting clear and logical arguments
• evaluating historical evidence
• developing an understanding of historical concepts such as
cause and effect, similarity and difference
and continuity and change.
That's what learning history is>>We cover content from
Cold War to Global Economy.Cuban Missile Crisis is one of the parts
of Cold War chapter.
/all the best in deciding for your subject combinations,JY
