Article 4: How Do We Examine Sources? Word Count: 120 Vocabulary: analyze: to study something carefully High Impact Teaching Strategy: Questioning Lesson Plan: 1. Prior to the lesson, write each question listed in the article on a separate piece of paper/sentence strip. 2. Set a purpose for reading: Today, we are going to read about how historians analyze sources. As we read, pay attention to the questions the historians ask. 3. Divide the class into nine groups (one group per question). 4. Assign each group one of the questions from the article. 5. Ask students to create a short explanation to present their question to the class. They should focus on these questions in their presentation: a. Does this question tell us about the author/creator, the purpose, or the format of the source? b. What does the question tell you about the source? c. Why is it important to ask the question about the source? d. Give an example of a source you would analyze with this question. 6. Allow students to present their questions. 7. Have a class discussion about how historians use primary and secondary sources to answer questions about the past. Have students write a paragraph to explain in their own words. 8. Have students copy or cut out the questions and put them into their interactive notebooks. (NOTE: make sure not to cut this week’s edition until you are finished with the other activity on the back.)
