Question
How does evidence shape Pankhursts?
Answer
Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape Pankhursts by focusing on Part four: Equality and rights. Use the chronology of BB Britain: Power and the people: c1170 to the present day, select named evidence connected to Study women's rights, including suffrage campaign reasons, methods and responses, the Pankhursts, franchise extension and progress towards equality in the second half, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.
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 four: Equality and rights. The evidence should connect to Study women's rights, including suffrage campaign reasons, methods and responses, the Pankhursts, franchise extension and progress towards equality in the second half 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 Pankhursts
A common mistake is to write about Pankhursts as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c1170 to the present day.
Anchor the answer to Part four: Equality and rights, use precise evidence, and state whether Pankhursts is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
