HIST 1302
United States History II
Dr. Gene Rhea Tucker
PRIMARY SOURCE ANALYSIS
Assignment
History is based on the study of primary sources: they are
history’s raw materials. Primary sources are
documents and accounts that originate in the time period they
discuss. Primary sources are like eyewitness
accounts in a court of law. (Secondary sources are written
works that reflect on earlier times. Though based on
primary sources, secondary sources are like hearsay in a court
of law.) Primary sources may include personal
memoirs, letters, oral interviews, court records, photographs,
and so forth. Though they are written or recorded
close in time to the historical event they describe, they are not
necessarily “factual” or “true.” The reliability
and validity of historical primary sources are open to
interpretation (just like eyewitnesses in court may disagree
about details and motives). Remember, all people have biases,
preconceptions, and agendas.
The purpose of this assignment is for you to read one of the
assigned primary source documents below (the
links are also on D2L) and complete a written essay that
analyzes and critically assesses the document. To
complete this assignment, students will: create an argument
through the use of historical evidence, analyze and
interpret primary and secondary sources, and analyze the effects
of historical forces on this period of United
States history. Students will demonstrate their critical thinking
skills, communication skills, and how they view
social and personal responsibility through interpreting historical
documents.
Based on your chosen primary source, your essay must address
the following questions and issues:
rote the document? Who is the intended audience of
the document?
document? Why was the document written?
document? What can be learned about the
mentality of the author?
cultural groups in the United States other
than the one represented by the author of the document; identify
one or more of these cultural groups
and explain how they might react differently to this document.
the document and explain how the author
proposes to resolve that situation, issue, or problem.
portance of this document to
American history? Do you agree or
disagree with the author? Explain.
You may answer these questions in an essay format in any
fashion you see fit, remembering to use proper forms
of writing such as good grammar and spelling, clear expression,
and logical organization.
You may quote from your chosen primary source without using
citations (I will know what you’re quoting). To
help you interpret the document, you MUST consult at least two
other books, secondary sources, for this paper
(you may cite more). Books only, but nothing else (no articles,
encyclopedias, websites, etc.; just books.) If
quotations or ideas or information come from any book you
consult, you must cite it in your paper. That means
using parenthetical citations (or footnotes) and including a
works cited/bibliography list.
Your submissions should be saved in a standard format (.doc,
.docx, or .pdf) and submitted by 11:59 pm on
November 25 (see the due dates in your syllabus) through
Dropbox on D2L. You can submit the assignment
by clicking “Primary Source Analysis” located either (a) by
clicking “Dropbox” on the gray bar on your class
page, or (b) by clicking “Content” on the gray bar on your class
page, then clicking “Coursework” on the table
of contents, and then clicking “Primary Source Analysis Paper.”
Any assignment submitted after the due date
will lose 10 points (10 percent of its value) for each calendar
day it is not turned in.
Format and Style
be 800+ words (which comes out to about 3
pages)
-spaced with 1 inch margins; make
sure there is no wasted space on your
paper (like between paragraphs, etc.)
d any fancy title pages, etc., just place the
title of your paper and your name at the top of
your paper (come up with any title for the paper you would like)
you interpret your primary source (remember,
just books)
grammar, spelling, and do not use
contractions—you will be graded on your written
communication skills; for more on proper style, see
the links provided on D2L under “Useful Links”
the past tense (e.g., “Washington was the
first president to…” not “Washington is the first president
to…”)
in the text, use his/her complete names on
first use and just his/her last name thereafter, and do not use
titles (Pres., Dr., Ms., etc.)
Citations and Plagiarism
using citations (I will know what you’re
quoting) but if you use quotations, ideas, or information from
your textbook or any other book, you must
cite it using parenthetical citations (or footnotes) and include a
works cited/bibliography list
source books to help
you interpret your primary source—books
only, but nothing else (no articles, encyclopedias, websites,
etc.; just books)—put your library (and
your professor) to good use
MLA, APA, or CMS (Chicago/Turabian);
your works cited/bibliography list should appear at the end of
your assignment (this does not count as
part of your 800+ words); for more on citation styles, see the
links on D2L under “Useful Links” and
http://libguides.templejc.edu/Citation
-checking software
and scrutinized by me for evidence of
plagiarism; plagiarism is any form of cheating, copying, or
stealing of words, phrases, and ideas from
other students, the textbook, other books, the internet, or any
other sources (this includes direct copying,
changing key words [paraphrasing or “synonymizing”], etc.),
recycling past papers, using someone
else’s work, and so forth; if you are not sure what constitutes
plagiarism, check out the links on D2L
under “Useful Links” and this tutorial
http://library.uta.edu/plagiarism/
plagiarizing in any way, at any point in
the course, will automatically receive a failing grade of F for
the entire course, without exception;
further sanctions may be pursued, such as a grade of XF (which
cannot be removed from your transcript)
an assignment than fail an entire
course for plagiarism

HIST 1302 United States History II Dr. Gene Rhea.docx

  • 1. HIST 1302 United States History II Dr. Gene Rhea Tucker PRIMARY SOURCE ANALYSIS Assignment History is based on the study of primary sources: they are history’s raw materials. Primary sources are documents and accounts that originate in the time period they discuss. Primary sources are like eyewitness accounts in a court of law. (Secondary sources are written works that reflect on earlier times. Though based on primary sources, secondary sources are like hearsay in a court of law.) Primary sources may include personal memoirs, letters, oral interviews, court records, photographs, and so forth. Though they are written or recorded close in time to the historical event they describe, they are not necessarily “factual” or “true.” The reliability and validity of historical primary sources are open to interpretation (just like eyewitnesses in court may disagree
  • 2. about details and motives). Remember, all people have biases, preconceptions, and agendas. The purpose of this assignment is for you to read one of the assigned primary source documents below (the links are also on D2L) and complete a written essay that analyzes and critically assesses the document. To complete this assignment, students will: create an argument through the use of historical evidence, analyze and interpret primary and secondary sources, and analyze the effects of historical forces on this period of United States history. Students will demonstrate their critical thinking skills, communication skills, and how they view social and personal responsibility through interpreting historical documents.

Do you agree or disagree with the author? Explain. You may answer these questions in an essay format in any fashion you see fit, remembering to use proper forms of writing such as good grammar and spelling, clear expression, and logical organization. You may quote from your chosen primary source without using citations (I will know what you’re quoting). To help you interpret the document, you MUST consult at least two other books, secondary sources, for this paper (you may cite more). Books only, but nothing else (no articles, encyclopedias, websites, etc.; just books.) If quotations or ideas or information come from any book you consult, you must cite it in your paper. That means using parenthetical citations (or footnotes) and including a
  • 4. works cited/bibliography list.
