For this assignment, you’ll be reading and analyzing primary source documents. Being able to properly analyze a primary source document is one of the most important skills of a historian and a skill that can benefit non historians as well.

You’ll likely need to do further research to answer some of the following questions. Your paper must include all of the following:
1) A thorough background of the primary source document and its author(s). What is it (speech, legal document, article, etc)? Who is its author? When was it from? Why was it created? What do you know/can you find out about the author(s) and his/her/their background(s)? Give a general overview about the individual(s) but discuss in detail areas of his/her/their background relating to the document.
2) A summary of the document including an analysis of it. In your own words, what does it say? What is its point? What was the author trying to get across? This section isn’t only a summary. You must also show that you’re able to read a primary source document and analyze it within its historical context.
3) A discussion of the significance of this primary source for understanding the topics of this course. Why is the source worth examining? Why is the document still relevant today (hint: IT IS!)? This section is worth the most as it’ll show whether you truly understand the document beyond just knowing what the words mean.
