Having undertaken some detailed research on U.S.A.'s involvement in the First World War, students have the context for source work on this topic.
The resource we have prepared focuses on developing an awareness on how this needs to be done. In particular, the focus is on the 'message' and 'usefulness' questions.
Building student confidence in 'attacking' sources is important and this resource provides the scaffolding students may need. Two sources have been chosen and a series of questions posed so that students analyse the source and read them inferentially. You will find the resource here.
