Grammar
Source Based Acronym
Hello There.
First time user and i hope my question is relevant and in the correct topic area! I am taking A level History and revising for some source based questions, the likes of which i have never come across before. A friend suggested an acronym to me called D.A.M.I.T. which stands for Date, Author, Mode, Intended Audience, Tone. And collates all the main areas that examiners are expecting to be covered in the answer.
I was just curious as to whether anyone had heard of this or come across any other methods of source based revision? As i said i am sorry if this sort of question is unacceptable but i thought someone here may have experience of this type of thing.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve, It sounds like a great question. " Who is asking and who is answering and what is the source? If this would have been obvious to the person who can help you, I am not he/she.

Hi Steve,
It sounds like a great question. Could you explain what, exactly, it is that you're revising (I hope not History), and what is understood by "source based questions." Who is asking and who is answering and what is the source? If this would have been obvious to the person who can help you, I am not he/she. Who are the examiners?
Best of luck in your course. - A.

Hello Avangi and thanks for the response.
I'm afraid it is History! Anf the exam board is Northern Ireland CCEA....we get a source based question on Germany where you get three documents either contempary or secondary that are linked and you have to answer questions about them, usually comparison questions. The acronym i was told contained all the main parts of the answer they are looking

There are some very talented people on the team but I can't say whether any are into the analysis or comparison of historical source documents. My son is an Irish history buff but not a scholar. I'm afraid I, personally, have no recommendation for you. (This is an English as a second language site.) I confess I'm curious as to where "revision" fits into what you've described to me.

Hi Steve,
Welcome to the Forum.
You and I have a certain amount in common as not only did I, too, take 'A' level History and in fact a subsequent degree in it, but I was born in N. Ireland.
