← 返回 Interpretations and significance, Year 8: more practice
- The Great Fire of London in 1666 destroyed much of the old city within days. Is that a short-term or a long-term consequence?
Short-term
提示Think about how fast the effect showed.
为什么The destruction happened within days. Rebuilding and changes to building rules came afterwards.
- After the Black Death, workers stayed scarce and wages stayed high for the next fifty years. Is that a short-term or long-term consequence?
Long-term
提示Think about the span of time the effect lasted.
为什么So many had died that workers were scarce. Landowners tried to limit wages but struggled for years.
- French words entering English after the Norman Conquest of 1066 slowly changed the language. Is that a short-term or long-term consequence?
Long-term
提示It took generations for words to spread into everyday speech.
为什么Thousands of French words entered English over the following centuries, and many are still in use today.
- The Peasants' Revolt of 1381 failed and its leaders were executed, yet the government did not try a tax like that poll tax again for a long time. What does this suggest about a defeat?
A defeat can still lead to change
提示Ask whether losing always means nothing changes.
为什么The rebels were defeated and punished, but the government avoided a poll tax like that one for a long time afterwards, showing that protest can have effects even when it fails.
- Caxton set up England's first printing press at Westminster in 1476. Is rising literacy over the following centuries a short-term or long-term consequence?
Long-term
提示The effect built up slowly.
为什么Printed books made reading material cheaper and more widely available, and literacy grew over generations.
- Why do historians often disagree more about long-term consequences than short-term ones?
Many other causes mix in over time, so it is harder to link effects to one event
提示Think about how much else happens as years pass.
为什么The longer the gap, the more other events could have caused a later change.
- In a claim, evidence and explanation paragraph, which part shows how the evidence proves the claim?
The explanation
提示Think of the 'so what' step.
为什么Evidence alone is not enough: the explanation links it back to the claim, often using 'this shows' or 'because'.
- Why is a specific fact, such as a date, name or quotation, stronger evidence than a vague statement like 'many people were unhappy'?
It can be checked and tied directly to the claim
提示Think about which one you could verify.
为什么Precise evidence is harder to challenge and shows real knowledge.
- Which is a claim rather than a plain fact: 'The Great Fire began in 1666' or 'The Great Fire changed London for the better'?
'The Great Fire changed London for the better'
提示One of them can be argued about.
为什么A claim is a judgement that needs evidence to support it, while a plain fact can simply be checked.
- Why should a supported judgement use selected evidence rather than every fact you know?
The strongest relevant evidence proves the point, and extra facts blur it
提示Think about quality over quantity.
为什么Good writers choose the best evidence for the claim and explain why it matters.
