SHEG Sourcing Poster

Sourcing - Read or view the following:

The first step in the Reading Like Historian process is sourcing the document.  Sourcing asks students to consider who wrote a document as well as the circumstances of its creation. Who authored a given document? When? Where? For what purpose?   

The Reading Like a Historian Sourcing Poster reminds students before reading a document to ask:
•   Who wrote this?
•   What is the author’s perspective?
•   Why was it written?
•   When was it written?
•   Where was it written?
•   Is this source reliable? Why? Why not?
