Choose one of the primary source options from below, analyze it with annotations (see annotation help below), then compare that source with one of the other primary sources. Make sure that it is not the same primary source. Next, compare those primary sources with the questions below, and finally post your annotations and comparison. Now the waiting game. Be patient and then read a classmates post and use the reflection response questions to answer your viewing of your classmates post.
Choose 1 of the Primary Sources:
Option 1: Isabel de Guevara

The next part

How are the sources similar and/or different?
Why did you choose this source to compare?
How do these sources help you understand this period of the Colonial Life in the Americas (North and South America)?

Now, post your Annotations and Comparison to the Discussion Board.
Wait and then read one of your classmates post
Reflect on your classmates annotations and answer the following annotation reflection questions as a response to their post

What did your classmate make note of?
How did their annotations and comparison help you better understand this Time and Place?
