Progressive+Era+Project+Primary+Source+Analyses

After the groups divide the writing responsibilities, each person should have two articles to write: (a) a news story and (b) an editorial or interview. Those articles will be about two different topics. To help in better understanding the history behind the Progressive Era stories and to improve analytical skills, each student will complete 2 analyses of primary sources by creating thought-provoking, open-ended questions and then answering those questions.


 * For an example of what is expected, see**: [[file:Primary Source Analyses Example.pages]]
 * Some minor critiques of the example: It lacks bibliographical information and the questions are not specific to the document itself (they lack excerpts from the sources).


 * Due Date:** This will be turned in both electronic and printed form. All analyses (without the actual primary sources) should be submitted to to turnitin.com by **8:00 a.m.** on **Monday November 2**. (As a reminder, the US-D class ID# is 2902164 and US-E's is 2902165. ) **In class**, on **Tuesday November 3,** each student should hand in his/her primary source analyses stapled to a printed version of both primary sources. If a source is too long, then a printed excerpt from the source is acceptable.


 * Notes**:
 * Each set (2 total) of questions and answers should be a total of ½ page single-spaced (Times New Roman, 12 pt font, 1" margins)
 * Ideally, there would be one primary source related to each student-written article but exceptions can be made to have two sources about one topic.
 * These analyses are helpful in researching for the newspaper but will not be included in the newspaper.
 * The primary sources, however, should be used in the group's bibliography.
