  4. Examination of Primary Resources • APPARTS Technique Author Place and Time Prior Knowledge Audience Reason The Main Idea Significance

  5. Author • Who created the source? • What do you know about the author? • What is the author’s point of view? • Does the author have anything in his/her past that could predict the POV?

  6. Place and Time • Where and when was the source produced? • How might this affect the meaning of the source?

  7. Prior Knowledge • Beyond information about the author and the context of its creation, what do you know that would help you further understand the primary source? For example, do you recognize any symbols and recall what they represent?

  8. Audience • For whom was the source created and how might this affect the reliability of the source? • Can this source persuade the audience?

  9. Reason • Why was this source produced at the time it was produced?

  10. The Main Idea • What point is the source trying to convey?

  11. Significance • Why is this source important? • What inferences can you draw from this document? • Ask yourself, “So what?” in relation to the question asked.

  12. Any questions??? • APPARTS is not a test-taking strategy. Document-Based Questions on the Advanced Placement exams allow students only 15 minutes to read and analyze somewhere between eight to 12 documents. There is no time to go through the APPARTS process. Therefore, APPARTS must have become, in the words of the AP Social Studies Vertical Teams Guide, "a habit of mind." Student must have had enough practice so that it has become an intuitive part of examining documents.
