1.This is a primary source analysis essay. This is not a research paper, so you will not look for sources beyond the DPLA Set.
2.First of all, I don’t need you to write the essay right now.
3.I need you to go to this website:
-Link to the website: Space Race | DPLA
-This is the topic you will work on called “Space Race”.
– You can click “Show full overview” to read what’s it about.
-After understanding it I need you to scroll down and look at the “Source Set”, here you will need to pick 5 different source sets (one must be long written), if for some reason you don’t feel like those sources under the “Source Set” are not enough or not good you scroll up and type in the search bar “Space Race” and look for others within the Space Race.
- After you did the #3 steps, I need you to show me each of the 5 different source sets and you need to do Annotations for each source set of the 5 by answering these questions for each of the 5 different source sets(I guess this make sense to you? If not let me know):
Questions:
- What is it? (Photograph, speech, cartoon, etc)
- Who made it?
- What is the intended audience?
- What is the perspective/argument of the source?
- Why is it significant to your historical topic?
5 Remember you can only use the DPLA website and nothing else to use information.
6 Last, the criteria you must follow:
-Use of DPLA Primary Source Set. All primary sources are from the DPLA set
-Primary Sources relate to each other in a way that makes sense. They may: all address one theme within the topic, offer opposing viewpoints, include a wide timespan to discuss change over time, or hone in on a specific moment/year to dig deeply into a single event.
-Types of Sources
Choices represent a variety of sources found within the DPLA set. Might include Photographs, maps, fliers and other images, interviews, radio shows, newspaper articles, etc. At least one source is a longer written source (a pamphlet, interview, government document, newspaper article, manifesto, letter, etc.).
Uses multiple types of sources (ex- A photograph, flier, interview, and newspaper article)
-Short annotations for each primary source summarize argument or perspective of source and how it relates to essay topic. (Questions to answer)
