GUIDELINES FOR WRITING THE ASSIGNMENT

In writing the assignment keeps the following things in mind: Social Science/History
writing of any kind involves (a) Planning (b) Selection (c) Presentation and
(d) Interpretation.

a) Planning : Think out what you are asked carefully. Go through the units
and in case you want any additional material, try to
locate it in the Library.

See whether the question is of (i) 500 words, (ii) 250 words
or (iii) 100 words. For the first and second it may be
necessary to write a description with a comment. For the
third YOU have to pick out the necessary facts and arrange
them precisely.

b) Selection : This means picking out from your material the matter
important for answering your question:

For this:

i) Take notes of the relevant material.

2
ii) Look them over carefully. Delete information not
directly relevant to the question.

iii) Prepare a first draft. This will help you in getting a


clear idea of what information you want to put down
and what you want to leave out. This will also help in
giving your plan a practical shape.

c) Presentation : Prepare now a second draft. This is important for putting


down your ideas in a sharp and clear manner. With this you
will get an idea as to how you will be able to state what you
want to say within the word limits.

Prepare a third or a final draft to check out whether you have


put down all you wanted to say. Read to check whether your
answer is within the word limits.

d) Interpretation: Interpretation is a constant process in history writing. It is


already reflected in your planning and selection. Explanatory
comments with phrases like may be, because, could be, etc.,
immediately introduce an element of interpretation in
writing itself. Here you have to be careful that these
comments can be supported by the material you have in the
answer.

Note : In case you run short of time you should

i) prepare a rough draft, check that you haven’t left anything out, and

ii) go on to write the final draft.

Now, we believe you are ready to answer the questions.
