Course = Primary Source Evaluation and Discussion Lead (In
person)
The Primary Source Evaluation
assignment consists of historically questioning and evaluating
an array of historical primary sources and presenting your
findings in class. You
will be in charge of leading class discussion that day, focusing
on the documents and your findings. Everyone will be
required to participate in those discussions.
35-40 minutes total:
10 min.- Present Document:
The evaluation should consist of the
following concepts and questions.
Use them as a guide in your attempt to analyze the
documents’
meanings and historical context.
·
Who crafted
the document?
· What is the document?
·
Why was the
document crafted?
·
Who or what was the
intended audience?
·
How does the document fit within the
period?
This is where you run
the show. Feel free to use GROUPS/ GAMES/ Q&A/ DEBATE
-You well be evaluated on how much in depth analysis
is done on the subject and the document!
10
min. - Wrap Up:
Each
Member of the group will then present their Group or takeaway
insight and/or sum up the important points to the rest of the
class.
-Failure to
attend class on the day of your presentation because of an
unexcused absence will result in a zero for the assignment.
Non-presenters:
++A
sub-par class discussion concerning the primary source
documents will result in these assignments becoming written
exercises for that particular week's discussion, as well as
the next week. ALL
students except those presenting will then be required to
submit a typed page of historical analysis addressing the
questions above for EACH primary source document. This is your only
warning.
