Assess how students apply critical thinking and analysis skills to primary sources. • Have students summarize what they’ve learned. • Ask for reasons and specific evidence to support their conclusions. • Help students identify questions for further investigation, and develop strategies for how they might answer them.

What is the author’s point of view? • Place and Time: Where and when was the source produced, does this influence the meaning of the source? • Prior Knowledge: What else do you know about this source- symbols? Context? • Audience: For whom was this source created ? • Reason: Why was this source created? • The Main Idea: What point is the source trying to convey? • Significance: Why is this source important?
