Summarize Document
In this paragraph, which may range from one to two lines or a
really long paragraph (half of a page), you will summarize the key points
from the
document, or summarize the story if necessary. This summary paragraph should be
detailed enough so that I have no doubt that you have actually done the reading prior to
class.
Worth up to 5 points.

Present Your Analysis of the Document
In this paragraph, the main point is to
determine why this document is historically significant. This paragraph again could be
quite simple or more developed depending on the document about which you are reading.
One strategy is to relate the document to somet
hing you have read in another text. While
there are both right and wrong answers, I will not be grading on whether you
analyzed the document correctly or not. Rather I want to see how you act as an historian.
What you are reading is the raw material
from which historians create their stories
(analysis) of the past.
