Judge significance using criteria, not hindsight: Timor-Leste independence struggle
History HL 2028 assessment source-first practice. This argument map source about Timor-Leste independence struggle from 1975 to 2002 in Southeast Asia and Oceania is being used for this task focus: historical significance. A student is planning a Paper 2 answer using the concepts of causation, consequence, continuity, change, perspective, or significance. What should the next sentence or plan move do before turning the case into an argument? Select the inquiry focus, source evidence, context/perspective move, and historical judgement. Then answer in your own words: what should the student write next to strengthen this History HL response for the exact source or task? AI will analyse your source use, provenance, historical context, perspective, concepts, argument judgement, and expression.
Worked practice: build the argument
Build the historical argument: inquiry focus, source evidence, context and perspective, then a supported judgement.
Write a full answer
Now write the response in full, in your own words — this is what the exam asks for. The AI marks it on the same moves you built above (focus, evidence, technique, judgement) and gives feedback on reasoning, evidence, and expression.
