Purpose: To learn how to read a historical primary source
This assignment will require you to choose one of the primary sources (attachment below) and do the following:
Identification: Identify the source (who, what, where, when) and determine the author's point of view
Historical Context: Place it the context of a broader historical event, trend, or issue (you don't have to discuss them all. One or two will do.)
Historical Question: Pose a question that this source might be used to answer and explain how you would use the source to answer that question. Your question should draw a connection between the micro (your source as an individual case) and the macro (some larger historical development). By answering it, you should be able to tell your reader something that helps them better understand the time and place in which the source was written.
Please avoid the following:
(1) Counterfactual (what if...) questions,
(2) Reading comprehension questions (what happened after x said ...?) ,
(3) Moral-ethical questions (Is x a good person?)
Limits of the Source: Discuss limits or problems of using this source. You might discuss the author's background and biases or the kinds of sources he used. Also, consider things that the source cannot tell you.
In order to receive full credit for this assignment, you must include all of these points in your paper. To make sure that you do so, it might be helpful to divide the paper into four sections. Each of these points should receive equal space in the final draft.
A final note: Please do not include "parallels to today" sections in this paper. The purpose of the assignment is to learn how to read and use a historical source
Also please make sure to include all of the requirment.
