Instructions
Primary Source
1. Select one of the primary sources located on the list in the M5 Assignments section.
2. Read the source in its entirety or for at least 30 minutes.
3. Analyze and evaluate the selected primary source by answering the questions outlined in the Primary and Secondary Source Analysis portion of the eText (the 5 W’s) , and complete the primary source column of the Primary and Secondary Source Worksheet. Make sure to thoroughly answer each question and remember that you will need to do additional research to answer some of the questions.
Secondary Source
1. Locate a secondary source related in some way to your selected primary source. For example, if your primary source were Darwin’s Origin of the Species, you would look for a secondary source that comments on Darwin’s work or ideas. Please note that sources located within your eText are not acceptable secondary sources.
2. Read the secondary source in its entirety or for at least 30 minutes if it is lengthy.
3. Analyze and evaluate the selected secondary source by answering the questions outlined in the Primary and Secondary Source portion of the eText (the 5 W’s) , and complete the secondary source column of the Primary and Secondary Source Worksheet. Make sure to thoroughly answer each question and remember that you will need to do additional research to answer some of the questions.
Worksheet
1. Add a bibliography in one of the approved formats to the Worksheet, so your instructor can review your secondary source as well as your selected primary source. [Remember all your sources are listed in Chicago Style for Humanities (CMS). If you are using MLA or APA, you need to edit the format of the primary source as appropriate.]
2. Submit your PS Worksheet by the due date on the Course Schedule as a .docx or .rtf file (No PDFs). (This due date is likely to be earlier than the due date for the Primary and Secondary Source Analysis and Comparison Essay to allow the instructor to provide you feedback.)
