Social Studies Evaluation Answering Technique
Social Studies Evaluation Answering Technique
EXAMPLE:
Lyla is disinterested in Social Studies. Ev: She did not do her homework (no connection)
Casual relationship
- did not do homework —> poor time management —> lack of care —> disinterest
(MUST MAKE CONNECTION, it won’t always be in your evidence so you have to make
the links yourself and that would be your evidence)
EXAMPLE 2:
1) CMIO is not relevant because other axis of identities are more important
2) “I identify more as a Singaporean than a Chinese”
1 and 2 have a gap in explanation (unclear)
LINK: This means that National Pride is strong —> race ID doesn’t matter —> looks don’t matter
—> common experiences as Singaporeans —> link back to inference (1)
ANALYZING RELIABILITY:
Focus of provenance (the place of origin/author)
Example: Source is written by a University Professor therefore it is reliable because he/she is
knowledgeable in the field and is very experienced therefore it is more trustworthy and more
reliable. ‘
