How does evidence shape poverty?

Narrative sequence: answer How does evidence shape poverty by focusing on Part two: Life in Elizabethan times. Use the chronology of BC Elizabethan England, c1568-1603, select named evidence connected to Study the poor, including reasons for increased poverty, attitudes and responses to poverty, reasons for government action and seriousness of the problem, and order events accurately, show movement from one development to the next, and avoid jumping chronology. End by answering the command word directly.

This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section B: British depth studies including the historic environment, then anchor the answer in Part two: Life in Elizabethan times. The evidence should connect to Study the poor, including reasons for increased poverty, attitudes and responses to poverty, reasons for government action and seriousness of the problem 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.
