Section 3 analysis assignment
clarify which primary source you intend to analyze in Paper 1 (from Ch. 3, 4, or 5 of the Yawp Reader) by preparing the in-text citation (so that you don’t have to do it later!). Note that you should already have prepared the work cited and in-text citations using the Primary Source Analysis Worksheet.
You should be prepared to provide citations for any textbook or lecture content you use, too. See Module 1 for how to properly cite these sources.
provide at least (1) commonality and/or disconnect between your source and the larger time period.
Does your author’s view/experiences of colonial America or Revolutionary America mirror the “reality” of the time period (as addressed through the textbook and lectures)? In other words, does it reflect colonial America/Revolutionary America or does it present a more narrow or ideal “view?”
Provide specific support from the primary source and course content to demonstrate the commonalities and/or disconnects.
Note: Although I am not expecting citations in this part of this assignment, you will want to make sure and provide cited support (via lecture, textbook, other primary sources) in Section 3 of your paper. Otherwise your similarities/disconnects will remain vague and lack clear support
Extra Credit: Extra credit will be offered to those of you who choose to develop at least two (2) other commonalities/disconnects and provide sufficient support/elaboration.
