This type of question is focussing on one of the key concepts of cause and consequence, or change and continuity.
Example:
Write an account of the reasons for William鈥檚 victory at the Battle of Hastings.
Tips:
With this type of question you have to be very careful not to simply tell the story of the events in the order they happened. Instead you should focus on the reasons within your account.
You should write an account that has a structure that is logically sequenced and connected, and includes a range of relevant knowledge. If you are able to, try to extend the complexity of your reasoning to show more detailed relevant knowledge.
