As stated in the syllabus, “Students will keep a primary source journal consisting of four entries over the course of the semester. The journal will be based on primary source documents found in American Perspectives volume one and the document analysis worksheet found online. 1 completed document analysis worksheet + 1 primary source from American Perspectives = 1 journal entry. Additionally, students will write a 1000 word essay that examines the importance of primary sources in studying history. The purpose of this assignment is to assess students analytical abilities and comprehension skills. Students should ONLY analyze and reference PRIMARY SOURCES for this assignment. No credit will be awarded for secondary source reference or analysis. Students are encouraged to make ongoing progress on their primary source journals and essay. More information about this assignment as well as examples will be provided during the course of the semester.”
