Overview
analysis and close reading of a primary document that you will be using in your portion of the final project, (my portion is on Armenians under Ottoman Rule). Use any primary document that is relevant to the course material and to the topic of your chosen final project.
- Identify the primary source you are using, and explain what type of source it is: example a petition to the Sultan, A letter to from a merchant, an excerpt from a memoir… etc, and place it in historical context.
- If possible Identify the writer.
- Give a short summary of what the document is about, or what the purpose of the document is.
- Do a close reading of the document, taking into consideration bias, tone, voice , audience, author, and give your analysis.
- Conclude your paper.
The paper does not necessarily have to be in the above order, but needs to include all points.
Be sure to refer to the text in your analysis, and back up any claims you make.
It needs to have a title, and any outside information has to be cited.
