How does the 0457 syllabus define an argument?: A series of statements containing reasons and evidence which support a claim about a global issue.
What is the difference between a claim and evidence?: The claim is what is said. Evidence is what supports it.
What is the difference between describing an action and evaluating it?: Description says what happened; evaluation judges how well it worked and why.
What does Question 4 of the Written Exam ask, and how many marks is it worth?: It assesses actions using all the sources, for 20 marks. Compare the actions and reach a judgement using criteria that you actually apply in your paragraphs.
Should you use your own knowledge of a real conflict in the Written Exam?: No. The questions are based on the sources, and knowledge of content is not assessed. Use the source material as evidence.
What makes a good Individual Report question?: One that divides opinion and is narrow enough to research, such as "Should countries sell weapons to states at war?". A topic word alone gives no structure and no perspectives.
