Use source content to answer a focused inquiry: Meiji Restoration and modernisation

History HL 2028 assessment source-first practice. This source booklet about Meiji Restoration and modernisation from 1853 to 1895 in East Asia is being used for this task focus: source content and inquiry focus. A student is answering a Paper 1 source inquiry. What should the next sentence do so source content, provenance, origin, purpose, audience, historical context, perspective, corroboration, and judgement are used accurately? 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.
