Exam Tips
- • Use the SPICE framework: Social, Political, Interactions with environment, Cultural, Economic
- • Continuity AND change: every period has both; name them explicitly
- • Comparison: two regions, one category, specific evidence from each
- • Causation: long-term causes, short-term triggers, and effects (chain them)
- • Use evidence: named people, places, dates, never "sometime in Asia"
