Sec 2 Ih SBQ Notes 1

This document provides guidance on inference skills, comparison skills, and answering source-based questions for the Secondary 2 Integrated Humanities subject. It explains that to make an inference you must "read between the lines" and use reasoning to arrive at a conclusion based on evidence from the source. It also outlines the PEE approach for answering inference questions: making a Point, providing Evidence from the source, and Explaining how the evidence answers the question. For comparison questions, it defines key terms like "compare" and "similar/different" and provides examples of comparison questions. It advises identifying a common criterion between sources and drawing insights from their similarities and differences.

Source Based Questions


Skills Notes 1

Inference Skill
We sometimes see/hear the following phrases. What do they mean?

1. Remember to ‘read between the lines’!


2. This sentence has a ‘double meaning’!
3. What’s the ‘actual/real meaning’ of this phrase?

What does it mean when one is asked ‘to infer’?

1. Remember to ‘read between the lines’!


2. ‘Reason out’ what you have read/seen
3. Arrive at a ‘conclusion’ (e.g. reach an opinion) based on
facts & reasoning

To answer an Inference question, you must use the PEE approach:

P (Point) - Open the paragraph by stating the point clearly, explicitly &
briefly
E (Evidence) - Select relevant evidence from the source to support what you
are saying (i.e. the point you made)
E (Explain) - Explain how what you are saying answers the question (i.e.
link your
answer to the question)

COMPARISON
These words are associated with the skill of comparison. What do they
mean?

COMPARISON - To put things side by side in order to see to what extent they are
the same or different

SIMILAR - Alike; the same.

DIFFERENT - Not alike; not the same; unlike most others; unusual.

QUESTIONS
Questions can be asked in different ways but they still require you to point out the
similarities and differences. Examples of questions are:

1. How different are Sources A and B?


2. In what ways are Sources C and D similar?
3. To what extent is Source A similar to Source B?
4. In what ways are Sources C and D different?
5. How similar are Sources A and B?
6. How do Sources C and D differ?
7. How are Sources C and D similar?
8. To what extent is Source A different from
Source B?

HOW DO YOU START COMPARING?


1. Identify a common criterion (i.e. something the 2 sources have in
common) to base the comparison.
2. Identify a common criterion (i.e. something the 2 sources have in
common) to base the comparison.
3. Draw insights from the similarities and/or differences surfaced & explain
the insights

REMEMBER THE CRITERIA FOR COMPARISON

Sweetie Pie, cup of tea, please.
