The Primary Source Analysis Draft
So far, you’ve read about the major assignments in this course, begun to engage with our course theme, and identified a few potential primary sources that you might analyze. Now, your task is to choose 1 primary source—a short text, video, image, or other artifact—that relates to our course theme and that you would like to work with for the rest of the semester. Once you have chosen your primary source, you will use the analytical moves described in our textbook to analyze the details and potential meanings of your primary source. The 2-3 pages of analysis that you compose about your primary source will become the foundation of future assignments: the Annotated Bibliography, the Secondary Source Integration Paper, the Analytical Research Paper, and the Symposium.
Assignment Purpose
The Primary Source Analysis is designed to help you meet three objectives:
Select a primary source that will be the foundation of the rest of your Analytical Research Project

Practice developing open-ended research questions

Peer Review Information
After the due date passes, you will be assigned reviews of three of your classmates’ submissions. (You’ll see them listed on your Dashboard, in the course activity stream, and on this assignment page.) Complete all three reviews, remembering to use the Describe ? Assess ? Suggest framework outlined in the Peer Review Guide, Pt. 1, to compose your responses.
The peer review system in Carmen is generally reliable, but it does have a few quirks; review Peer Review Tips for Students before beginning your reviews. If you still have trouble finding/completing your assigned reviews, consult this Canvas Guide, How do I submit a peer review to an assignment? (Links to an external site.) Be aware: reviews are automatically assigned at the due date/time, so if you submitted late, you may need to ask your instructor to assign you reviews in the peer review system.
