 The sort of
work asked of you in this assignment is what you need to do with the documents you will be reading
each week for your discussion boards and also for your remaining section assignments. Practicing a
close read of documents early in the semester will help you with your remaining work throughout
the semester.
SKILLS: This assignment will help you practice the following skills that are essential to your success
in this course, in the university, and in professional life beyond the university.
• You will begin by searching out primary source evidence that addresses the problem.
• Be sure to give these documents a close reading so that you can pull as much meaning as
possible from them. See the Primary Source Reading Guide handout in your Week Two
folder for more details on how to undertake a close reading.
• When you are reading the primary documents, you will gain experience in evaluating the views
and claims contained in each document. Do the statements made accord with what you’ve
read in the other documents? With what you’ve read in your textbook? With what you’ve
heard in the podcasts? Considering these questions will help you discern how much
credibility to give to each document.
• From this primary source evidence, you will discern the most important facts, historical
actors, and events associated with the problem.
• Next, you will compare what you have learned from the primary sources with your textbook
and the podcast lectures, which are your pertinent secondary sources.
• Finally, you will plan and craft your answers for each of the seven questions.
