Separate source evidence from background knowledge: US civil rights movement in Birmingham
History SL 2028 assessment source-first practice. This provenance card about US civil rights movement in Birmingham from 1955 to 1965 in North America is being used for this task focus: source evidence and own knowledge. 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 SL response for the exact source or task? AI will analyse your source use, provenance, historical context, perspective, concepts, argument judgement, and expression.

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.
