Carefully read the online visual and written primary sources for your chosen week, along with the corresponding chapter from the course book (or the online chapters by Hoyland for week 10).
As you read your primary sources, ask yourself two questions: what they teach us about life in the period when they were written; and what they teach us about life today. In other words, think about ‘learning about’ and ‘learning from’ the past.
In writing your paper:
(a) explicate the meaning of the primary sources by putting their message into your own words [3 pages];
(b) contextualize the primary sources in relation to the time and place in which they were produced by drawing on the course book (or Hoyland for week 10) [3 pages];
(c) interpret your primary sources to explain how their message is meaningful and valuable in relation to life today [2 pages].
All papers should be 8 pages, double spaced in 12 font, not including your illustration/s.
Footnotes or endnotes must be provided for direct quotations or paraphrasing of factual material.
