Deadinsideandsouless Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 So I heard that incorporating historiography is what makes a difference between a 6 and a 7, but can anyone tell me how exactly are we supposed to incorporate them in the essays? Thank you so much!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxsxnchxntxd Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 my teacher told us that explicit historiography wasn't necessary: what the IB wants is an appreciation an explanation of different perspectives (i.e. you don't have to memorise a bunch of historians' names; it's enough to just say 'revisionist/orthodox interpretations' etc). I usually try to get it in either when I introduce a paragraph, e.g. if i'm weighing up factors i might be like 'revisionist historians may argue that x was the most important' or stick it towards the end of a paragraph with a line that says 'this fits with the orthodox interpretation that ...'. However, at the end of the day it really doesn't matter how you get it in there, just that you show the IB that you're aware of different interpretations and historical opinions existing - at least that's what we've been told! 1 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
