Criteria Feedback
You selected a sharply focused and historically appropriate research question with a clear time frame, place, and analytical direction.
You explained why both sources are relevant to the investigation and showed how each contributes different kinds of evidence.
You evaluated the two sources with clear attention to origin, purpose, content, value, and limitation rather than simply describing them.
You could push the source evaluation even further by making the methodological limitations of the second source more specific.
Your discussion of bias is strong, but it would be even better if you showed more precisely how that bias might shape the conclusions drawn from the evidence.

Criteria Feedback
You build a clear and logically structured argument that stays focused on the repression of Catalan language and culture.
You use a good range of evidence and move beyond description in many places to explain how repression worked and why it matters for the question of extent.
You make a thoughtful attempt to weigh different interpretations and reach a reasoned conclusion about both short-term suppression and longer-term limits on Francoist success.
At times the argument becomes more cumulative than analytical, with examples listed rather than fully weighed against one another.
Some evidence is not always integrated with enough explanation, so the link between the detail and the overall judgement is occasionally less explicit than it could be.
Your consideration of contrasting perspectives is present, but it would be stronger if you engaged a wider range of viewpoints in a more developed way.
