Overview
Each historical event was experienced, perceived, and
remembered differently depending on the person, which means
there are many competing narratives of a single event. In this
activity, you will compare the narratives represented in each of
your sources.
Prompt
Use the provided
Module Four Activity Template: Historical Narratives
Word Document to complete this activity. First, you will locate
an additional secondary source related to your historical event.
You will then compare the narratives about your historical event
in each of your sources (two primary and two secondary).
Finally, you will choose a narrative you believe has been the
most influential in terms of what is known about your historical
event.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
·
Compare the narratives presented in your primary and
secondary sources relevant to your historical event.
· Apply the source analysis skills from the previous activity to
help you compare the narratives about your historical event.
Describe the stories told in each source about your historical

3. event. Provide evidence from your sources to support your
descriptions of the narratives. Consider the following questions:
· How are the narratives in each source similar and/or different?
· How has the story of your historical event and key figure or
group (identified in the previous module) been told in the past
and the present?
· From which perspectives are the narratives told?
· What was occurring in society at the time of the event, such as
politics, the economy, and entertainment?
·
Describe one narrative that has significantly influenced
the contemporary understanding of your historical event.
· Select one narrative from the four you analyzed. Choose the
narrative that you think has been the most influential in terms
of what is known and unknown about your historical event.
Explain why you chose this narrative and how it has impacted
our current understanding of the event.
· Explain how the chosen narrative helps you better understand
your
historical research question.
· How does the narrative you chose expand, support, or
challenge your research question?

Overview
History consists of humans who each have a unique combination
of beliefs, assumptions, values, and biases. The stories we tell
and the knowledge we create about the past cannot be separated
from their authors. Thus, we should never accept a source at
face value. But instead, we must be critical consumers of
information. In this activity, you will analyze your primary
sources for narratives and consider if any bias is represented.
Prompt
Use the provided
Module Four Activity Template: Bias in Primary
Sources Word Document to complete this activity. First, you
will locate an additional primary source related to your
historical event. Next, you will answer questions about your
event and the primary source you identified in a previous
module. You will then consider whether there is evidence of
bias in these sources.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
·
Conduct source analysis on two primary sources
relevant to your historical event.
· You will respond to specific questions about each source in
the activity template.
·
Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical
event for the presence of bias.
· What clues are present in your two sources that may indicate
bias? Provide evidence of these clues from your sources. If you
do not think there is bias, provide evidence to support your

6. claim.
·
Compare how your historical event is represented in
your primary sources.
· Do the two sources tell the same story, or are contrasting
perspectives represented? Provide evidence from your sources.
