Instructional Ideas

  • Teach each of the "C's" individually and practice each step of analysis before assigning the worksheet
  • As a kick starter activity, have learners find a primary source related to a historical topic you are currently covering and have them present their chosen artifact along with their analysis to the class
  • Print several copies of this worksheet and file to have ready for your next assignment

Classroom Considerations

  • Specify requirements for length of answers in order to ensure quality responses
