Hot off the heels of my vidcast yesterday is a further vidcast about TMA 03. Do use it and take note of the advice, especially about orientating the discussion and planning.
At the tutorial last week, a number of students asked about the material that could be used as primary sources. You will see that there is actually a narrow choice within chapter three if you are going to be able to focus on the material relevant to the English civil wars (3.11 to 3.17). Don't exclude the possibility of using sources which might not seem to be directly related to the English experience; there are references to other kingdoms, but these may have some relevance in the English civil wars context.
Centre your responses on the primary sources and what utility they have. Build in relationships to what you know of the historical and historiographical issues where relevant.
Don't be tempted to be distracted by historical narrative. Only mention narrative insofar as it is relevant to the question.
