The Arthur Martin-Leake History Prize: 2013
How will the essay be marked?
Your essay mark will be out of 30. It will be made up of three parts, each out of 10, and each reflecting a different aspect of your essay. The three aspects teachers will be looking for are:
1. RESEARCH. Quality of historical content. Your essay must reflect a breadth and depth of historical research. This will obviously be evident in the specific, factual detail you use, but may also be reflected through quotations, illustrations, diagrams, maps, etc.
2. JUDGEMENT, FOCUS and PERSUASIVENESS. Quality of your ideas and opinions. Your essay must be driven by ideas and judgements rather than simply by stories and facts. You must judge and evaluate the issues in the question in a focused and persuasive way reflected by your own views and supported by your own research.
3. WRITTEN STYLE and PRESENTATION. Quality of writing, argument, presentation. Your essay must have an organised structure and must address the issues in the question all the way through rather than just at the beginning and at the end. Your points must be made clearly and forcefully, as well as being supported by well-chosen examples. Your essay should be clear, neat and lively in its presentation throughout.
Deadline and essay length:
Essays will only be considered for the prize if they are handed in, completed, on or before Monday 25 February. They will also only be considered if they are between 1000 and 1500 words in length and include a word-count at the end of the last page. You have 3 weeks including half term. This includes all prep time, but not class time. You should spend at least one week researching the details and ideas (the week before half term) and only then try to write the essay. Page 3 of this handout contains good advice on how to work on your essay.

How to plan and write your essay:
Planning the Essay:
The best way to do this well is as follows:
1. Read all the resources you can find and note down on paper relevant details or ideas that you come across. Don’t note anything that is not going to help you answer the question or you will end up with too much paper.
2. Read through all the notes you have and develop an overall answer to the question. Perhaps write a generalised answer of about ½ a side of A4. That summary will make a good introduction (see below).
3. Split your generalised answer down into its different points. Using your notes, find specific evidence that backs up each of those different points. Now you have the judgements and evidence to write the main sections of your essay (see below).
4. Read through all you’ve done and tie it all together again in a conclusion (see below).
Writing the Essay:
• The INTRODUCTION. The introduction is where you summarise the main parts of your argument. Identify the different issues that you have chosen to discuss through the essay in order to answer the question fully. You should also hint at your overall conclusion at the end of your introduction. Aim to do this in less than a side of A4. Do NOT simply ‘set the scene’ or give ‘background’ in the introduction. Remember your mark will be better if you are making judgements and answering the question directly from sentence one.
• The MAIN DISCUSSION. A series of sections, split into different paragraphs in which you expand on the different areas of your argument raised in the introduction. Explore each issue in detail and in depth whilst making sure you are keeping it focused on the question. Try to include between 3 and 5 different sections of around half a side each. Each section should deal thoroughly with a different aspect of your overall argument and should relate it directly back to the title.
• The CONCLUSION. A conclusion is where you re-emphasise the key points of your argument and perhaps raise other issues you could have explored with more time or research. This should be no more than a side of A4.

The prize:
Arthur Martin-Leake was born on 4 April 1874. He attended Westminster School between September 1888 and July 1891. He trained as a doctor and served in the British army during both the Boer War and WWI. Despite being severely wounded during the Boer War he was awarded the Victoria Cross on 13 May 1902 for tending the wounded whilst under heavy fire. Astonishingly he was then awarded the Victoria Cross again on 18 February 1915 for rescuing a number of wounded comrades whilst once more under heavy fire. Because of his links to both Westminster School and WWI, prizes in the Fifth Form essay competition are awarded in his name. THREE categories of prize will be awarded, with the possibility of more than one pupil in each category. The prizes will be awarded Prize Giving during the Election Term.
