What to write and how to write it:1.Summary: After reading one of the primary sources assigned this semester, write a paragraph summarizing the following information about it.

Which of the documents will you be writing about? b. Who wrote this document?

Contextualizing Primary Sources.

c. What was this document originally? (A law, speech, Part of a diary, newspaper report, letter, pamphlet, novel, book, poster, poem, play, or something else.) d. When was this document created, written, produced? e. Where was this document made? f. What was the document for? What was its purpose? 2. Context: This is where you will explain the historical context for your primary source. Consult your textbook, American Yawp for more information about the historical period in which your document originated. Most of the documents have dates, but if it’s not obvious use your best judgement.

Contextualizing Primary Sources.

Do not just pick random facts about events happening around the same time as your primary source. Some historical events will be more relevant to your primary source than others. Look for those that have an important relationship to your source. Make sure to explain how your primary source is related to the broader events. (Your job here is to convince me how certain events were related to and why they matter for understanding the primary document under discussion.)The next few paragraphs should use that information to answer the following questions:

Contextualizing Primary Sources.

a. What relevant historical events, movements, changes, conflicts, trends does American Yawp mention were going on at the time this document was created? b. What historical events, movements, changes, conflicts, trends, places does American Yawp mention were going on in/near the place this document was created? c. What historical events, movements, changes, conflicts, trends, does American Yawp mention were happening to the type of person or people who made this document? d. How the answers to questions a, b, and c reflected in what the document says? What about what it doesn’t say?   https://youtu.be/CzVJHuF_IQ8
