1. Plain: describe one tower together with the space around it. Separate what you can see from what UNESCO’s landscape record explains. Add the photograph’s date; leave any unidentified plant unnamed.

2. Building: trace three levels on Ananda. Compare this exterior with the British Library catalogue’s Jataka-plaque description. Which date belongs to the archive photograph, and which details cannot be seen here?

3. Writing: identify Myazedi pillar A and list the four languages from source 4. Then use source 5 to distinguish the donor, the temple and the people subjected to the donation. Whose voice is absent?

4. Care: connect brick, plaster and painting using the September 2016 report. Propose one question a conservator should investigate before repair. Explain why a dated photograph alone cannot answer it.
