Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section A: Thematic studies, then anchor the answer in Part two: Looking west. The evidence should connect to Study migrants to and from Britain, including Huguenot migration, Highland clearances and Ulster plantations and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.
Common mistake
Avoid confusing britain
A common mistake is to write about britain as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c790 to the present day.
Anchor the answer to Part two: Looking west, use precise evidence, and state whether britain is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
