How to answer question 1

You need a brief intro which sets out which area you are investigating and what your specific focus is.

You then need a paragraph (or two) on each of your methods, which should include at least four secondary and at least two primary.

Each paragraph needs to include an account of the method, which will involve some explanation, examples (for secondary) of two sources, fully referenced and their content briefly explained, at least one specific detail from each source (e.g. a quote) and an evaluatioon of the strengths and weaknesses of the method overall.

You should end with a conclusion, which again should be brief and just sum up your main points. Your FINDINGS can be left to Q.2

Extra tips: leave a line between each para, don't make your paras last more than a page, highlight key points if you want.
