When writing about History

There are a few points worth considering when writing an EE in History. Take these into consideration when reading the following essay: 

• Be careful not to summarise historical events.
• Instead, show understanding, analysis and implications of historical events. 
• Ensure that your research question is focused on an aspect of history, i.e. 'the events leading up to'.
• There is a 10-year rule; you cannot write about events from the past 10 years, as they're not yet historical. 
• Explore multiple, if not all, key concepts from the History course: 
  • causation
  • consequence
  • change
  • continuity
  • significance
  • perspectives.
