Primary Source Assignment (150 points)
\nDue Friday, September 23 (11:59pm)<\/p>\n
DIRECTIONS: This is an individual assignment designed to introduce you to primary source analysis. Before you complete this assignment, you must watch this video, which will introduce you to primary sources and how to analyze them: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PGVgU7ewz5U<\/p>\n
After you watch the video, choose ONE of the following sources that I have assigned from the American Perspectives reader:<\/p>\n
1)\t\u201cDeodat Lawson Describes Events at Salem (1692),\u201d pp. 91-97
\n2)\t\u201cVirginia Codes Regulating Servitude and Slavery (1642-1705),\u201d pp. 114-118
\n3)\t\u201cThe Horrors of a Slave Ship,\u201d pp. 119-129
\n4)\t\u201cVenture Smith\u2019s Account of Slavery and Freedom (1700s),\u201d pp. 130-136<\/p>\n
Then, using the primary source analysis process discussed in the video, read the source and answer the following questions thoroughly. Please use this sheet and TYPE your answers. To submit this assignment, you must submit as a Word document (.doc or .docx) on Eagle Online Canvas by 11:59pm on Friday, September 23.<\/p>\n
1.\tWhat is the title of the source? Who wrote it? What type of source is it?<\/p>\n
[INSERT ANSWER HERE]<\/p>\n
2.\tBased on what we\u2019ve covered in class, what did you ALREADY know about the time period before you read the source? (Saying you knew nothing about this time period is not an acceptable response\u2014you have been assigned reading and lecture material covering the time period, so I expect a substantive 5 to 10 sentence response to this question.)<\/p>\n
[INSERT ANSWER HERE]<\/p>\n
3.\tGive a 10 to 15 sentence summary of the source.<\/p>\n
[INSERT ANSWER HERE]<\/p>\n
4.\tWhat are THREE new things you learned about the time period from the source? (Type in complete sentences and do not simply list random small details directly from the source.)<\/p>\n
[INSERT ANSWER HERE]<\/p>\n
5.\tEvaluate the veracity and usefulness of the source. Are there any problems with it? Are there any biases in either the source or the author? Do those problems affect how useful the source is? Do you find it to be a trustworthy source overall? (Be critical! Saying that there are no issues whatsoever with relying on this source is not an acceptable response.)<\/p>\n
[INSERT ANSWER HERE]<\/p>\n
6.\tHow can a historian USE this source? (Be specific\u2014don\u2019t just tell me that \u201cit tells us more about what happened in the past\u201d or something similar. How can THIS particular source be more useful than other primary or secondary sources? Is there a piece of information or a perspective that we can only get from this source?)<\/p>\n
