Examples
What targeted study looks like
Context check
Why is context important in a history answer?
It shows how an event fits into broader developments, which helps explain significance rather than list facts.
Evidence check
A student quotes a document but does not explain it. What is the mistake?
Evidence use is incomplete. The repair should practice linking evidence directly to the claim.
