Elaborations
- • Elaboration examining the accuracy of sources by asking questions such as “Where does it come from?”, “What information is provided?”, “Is the information factual or an opinion?” and “What other sources may be needed to support/challenge this source?”
- • Elaboration recognising that, while evidence may be limited for a particular group of people, such evidence can provide useful insights into the power structures in an ancient society
- • Elaboration distinguishing between a fact (for example, “Some gladiators wore helmets”) and an opinion (for example, “All gladiators were brave”)
- • Elaboration identifying information within a source that can be useful evidence to support an interpretation of an event, movement, individual, group or society
