Prompt:  What insight does the primary source provide on the respective topic and/or historical period?
analyze historical documents to deepen your critical reading and analytical writing skills.
Historical context provided by the textbook, accompanied by ONE proper footnote citation: George Brown Tindall and David Emory Shi, America: A Narrative History, (New York: W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.,  2013), pg#. (YOU DON’T HAVE TO CITE THE PRIMARY DOCUMENT.) To support your thesis and analysis of the artifact, you should provide relevant historical context, explain the artifact’s purpose or perspective, and convey its relevancy, or importance, to American History.
It is alright if it bleeds onto a third page – but it shouldn’t go more than half way. Make sure to delete any phantom pages before you submit (A phantom page is a last page that contains absolutely no text.)
3. Contain a clear thesis statement addressing the respective prompt in the first paragraph. 2. One reference to the textbook.
Here, all you have to do is use the textbook for this class as a secondary source to provide necessary historical context. Essentially, you’ll just be describing what was happening around the time this primary document was written. NOTE: Due to the page limit of this assignment, DO NOT reference the Title of the Textbook and the Authors in the body of the essay, save that information for the footnote (if I see a sentence like this “According to George Brown Tindall and David Emory Shi in America: A Narrative History, this was…. ” or its equivalent then I will dock you down a point.) 
Response identifies and explains the primary argument of the document, as well as some subarguments and evidence used by the author to make his/her point. Also, response addresses not just what the document is arguing but why and the historical significance of the argument.
Provide evidence from the primary source – including quotations – that help argue your thesis statement. Make sure this ties in with the historical context efficiently, otherwise you will lose points in the Chronology and Complexity Category. 
Response shows clear command of chronology and complexity by referencing specific historical events and other documents’ arguments.
Tie in the secondary sources efficiently that help relate the primary source to the time period at large (and/or other primary sources).
