Would you like us to quote as we had done in our essay and attach the questions/answers as a Word document?
For this one, you can just list the quotes. But give a couple sentences afterwards as a conclusion about your quotes. Question #4 doesn’t need quotes, it’s just an overall assessment of the situation based on what you’ve learned.
Wait for the quotes do you need one from each battle (one from Ypres, Sommes, Vimy, and Passchendaele) for every question?
I would say it’s up to you, whatever you can find. The more of a survey you can do of the different battles, the better your understanding will be.
Do you want us to answer questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 in paragraphs using the quotes or do you want us to answer the questions in point form with some quotes that we found? Of course they would both be referenced.
For #1-3, you could provide the quotes, then give a conclusion as to what you found in a couple sentences. #4 will need a paragraph.
Oh and for #4, it’s more like your conclusion for the whole lesson, you don’t need quotes for that one.
