History HL 2028 assessment source-first practice. This Historical Investigation planning source about Post-war Japanese occupation reforms from 1945 to 1952 in East Asia is being used for this task focus: IA evidence synthesis. A student is planning a Historical Investigation IA. What should the next research decision do so the inquiry question, source selection, perspective, synthesis, scope, and source evaluation stay historically precise? Select the inquiry focus, source evidence, context/perspective move, and historical judgement. Then answer in your own words: what should the student write next to strengthen this History HL response for the exact source or task? AI will analyse your source use, provenance, historical context, perspective, concepts, argument judgement, and expression.
