Establishing connections between facts is like asking you to classify fruit on one side and vegetables on the other. By analyzing each document, you identify what it shows. Then you decide whether it is a fruit or a vegetable and put it in the correct category.

You might be asked to use excerpts from Samuel de Champlain’s travel journal to support the fact that he founded the City of Quebec.

Generally, a document in a documentary record cannot be used more than once in an exam. So, if a document has already been used, it can be eliminated and you can focus on the remaining documents to classify them and make the right associations. Doing this by elimination can help you in situations where a document is more difficult to place.
