This assignment will help you pull together everything you’ve learned so far about your primary source & your Collection theme to prepare you for your team’s next steps.
This is the MOST critical individual grade of your final project.
Review the sources you found useful from Research Exercises 3, 4, & 5.
Then, identify and quote three or four passages from at least two of those sources that best support your primary source’s connection to your Collection’s “hard history” theme. Be sure to follow each quote with a parenthetical citation!
NOTE: If none of the sources you’ve found so far have worked for you, contact your instructor & plan to conduct new research from additional credible sources that will give you what you need. Please use an in-text, parenthetical citation next to each quote.
