How many units does WJEC GCSE History (Wales) have, and how are they weighted?

Four units: two depth studies, a thematic study and the Working as an Historian NEA

What does assessment objective AO3 reward?

Analysing and evaluating sources through content and provenance

Content, provenance and own knowledge, leading to a judgement

Because a one-sided source can still be useful for showing what a group believed

A source is evidence from the time; an interpretation is a considered view built from evidence

Developed reasons for the difference, such as evidence, emphasis, purpose or viewpoint

Understand each view, test it with own knowledge, then reach a supported judgement

Short: two developed features, about a sentence or two each

Change and continuity, significance across a long period, and an extended essay

A compulsory requirement to use Welsh examples in Units 1 and 3

On the written units, with the most on the Unit 3 extended essay

A source-based narrative task and an interpretations task

Reach a clear, supported judgement rather than sitting on the fence
