Students are introduced to a school SIMS image which they discuss about how useful this source is for finding out about behaviour and what other sources we could investigate to get a better picture. Following this they discuss a source from the time period and working with a partner they create a criteria for judging how useful the source is. After discussions the class create a tip/ help sheet for working with sources (prompts are given as well as a worksheet). Using a continuum line students rank various types of sources based on their usefulness in learning about policing, which they annotate (examples given in presentation) before completing an exam question.
