WWI Primary Sources

HW: Finish finding 2 primary sources/additional primary/secondary sources; be able to find these again on Wednesday. If you want to get ahead, do T-chart analysis of your 2 primary sources...

BLOCK DAY:

STEP 1: Use the following links to find 2 primary sources (and additional sources): 
1. Library of Congress Guide to WWI Materials

2. National Archives


* If you find a source on a non-.gov or non-.edu site, google it, and find it on a .gov or .edu site so we know it's credible!

STEP 2: Once you find your 2 primary sources, create a T-Chart (Observations/Inferences) or use the Primary Source Analysis Tool for more help (blue sheet) to analyze them. You will turn in this analysis.

STEP 3: If you've found/analyzed your 2 primary sources, plus any additional (.edu/.gov sites) sources you feel you need to gain a deeper understanding of the topic, you can create an outline/begin drafting your newspaper article. Refer to the assignment guidelines for the format. Keep in mind it is to be written in third person (unless you're writing an editorial letter, interview, etc.) and it is being written during that time period (between 1914-1918), and should be 250-500 words (less than 1 page).

Please let me know when you've finished analyzing your sources!
