How should I go about answering this question eg evaluate the modern and ancient interpretations of hatshepsuts reign.

I have my content but I'm unsure as to how I should respond.

Anyone who has a sample reaponse or can guide me would be appreciated.

Might be a bit late but effectively you're looking at presenting information/sources/views from ancient and modern periods. It is easier to present your information by examining the ancient sources first followed by your modern interpretations. Your modern interpretations should be divided into paragraphs dedicated solely to a historian or historians which share similar views, such as Wilson/Gardiner, Hornung/Redford. Ultimately, your response will become a progression of ideas of Hatshepsut which have evolved since ancient times which traditionally presented a conventional view about her to modern interpretations which generate diverse views about her reign. This might be in the HSC because it's really never been asked
