Briefly summarize and analyze two primary sources, identifying
their intended audience, purpose, context in which they were
produced (what was happening at the time), and their overall
historical significance (why it is important). Once you have
analyzed the documents, discuss how they relate to each other.
For example, do they reveal different perspectives or change
over time?
The purpose of this is to go deep into a piece of material and
engage with the historians’ craft of how to interpret pieces of
the past. This is not a right/wrong type of paper. This is your
interpretation based on what you know. The paper needs to have
a strong thesis statement supported by quotes from the primary
source with a conclusion that sums it up.
The paper should be 2 – 3 pages
