Weekly History and Geography - 27

Research and Writing Skills - Compare Primary Sources

As you learned in Chapter 10, primary sources are "snapshots" of history.  They are created by people who were there at the time of the event.  On p. 472-473 in your Social Studies textbook, you will need to read the What, Why, and How about two primary sources; the English Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution.  Then, answer the "Think and Apply" questions 1-3 on p. 473 on the blog.

When you complete the 10 questions, return to the blog and answer the following reflection questions:  1. What was your score?  2.  Would you have known any of the answers without the art analysis lesson from class?  Explain.  3.  This website was created specifically for our Social Studies textbook.  Would you be interested in using it again?  Why or why not?
