Not to be confused with the "Well Done" materials...raw, well done...LOL on this end...and I am using it at the comedy club on Friday night. Senior night again. They will love it.
Sorry for the delay. I just got back from Vermont on Sunday. It was cold and raining for 2 days but we managed to have a nice time. By Thursday the sun broke and we were able to ride bikes around Stowe on an amazing bike path. I brought my Tosh book with the hopes of being able to post up there but my kids had other plans.
I have received some follow-up questions from some of you and here is what I would like to do with these; can we post them? So that the class may see your questions and my responses. All you need is an e-mail (you can make a gmail account if you want a separate account for this purpose) and password. The instructions are straightforward and right on the blog site.
Now for the Chapter 3 prompts: (when we write in AP Euro---your ability to think about the raw materials is critical)
1. This is a basic but critical, what is the difference between a primary and secondary source?
2. Why are historians interested in what contemporaries "thought" was happening as opposed to what was actually happening? Make sure you "for example" your response.
3. Why do many historians value press publications such as newspapers in constructing the past?
4. What does private correspondence offer the historian?
5. Finally, no matter what type of raw material the historian is examining, what questions almost always come up? In other words, what basic questions do we need to answer about any primary resource? Try to think of at least 5.
