The iTutor Secrets to an A* History Essay
You may have seen me yapping about this on my TikTok page but its true, you cannot get beyond a C/B without a good structure, so steal mine! The PEEAJ system is your framework for high-level analysis. 1. Point: Start with a mini-argument. Use The "Because" Test: Every point must end with "because" followed by a specific reason. If you can't add a "because," your point is too weak 2. Evidence Every piece of evidence must include a specific date, name, or number to prove you have specific, detailed and precise knowledge 3. Explanation: Use the "This Meant That" Formula. Tell me the effect/consequence of that evidence and HOW this LINKS BACK to the question 4. Counter- Argument ( The A* Differentiator): Counter argument menu: Limitation: OR Alternative Factor OR Time Period OR Historian Disagreement 5. Judgment: Explicitly link back to the question to ensure a consistent focus. Use the "Question Echo" - Echo the key words of the question to provide a mini conclusion of that factor Most essays I mark are missing one of these five steps. Which part do you struggle with most: Point, Evidence, Explanation, Counter-Argument, or Judgment?

my teacher says I’m too descriptive and I need to analyse more, hence why I’m at a C. I really need to work on that.
What’s the hardest part of A-Level History for you right now?
Let me know and I'll make my next post on how to solve that issue

For me, it’s analysing sources and structuring essays.

OCR British and Ireland, and Anglo Saxons? (I’m hoping someone does one of these as well.)
