Historical Analysis in IB MYP Grade 4 History
In IB MYP Grade 4 History, Historical Analysis gives advancing learners (ages 14–15) the chance to practise comparing different accounts of an event, evaluating the reliability of historical sources and constructing an original historical argument.
MYP History is assessed against four criteria (A: knowing and understanding, B: investigating, C: communicating and D: thinking critically). Regular practice with historical analysis builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.
