You are now looking at a Single Primary Source related to the Challenge you’re reviewing. These can be photographs, texts, videos, political cartoons, and more. Tools included with the source are specific to the source type, such as playback controls for video, zoom controls for images, or paging controls for longer documents.
Become familiar with this Primary Source and the others associated with this Challenge. Students will make notes on all or a portion of this source to make their Case.
Review this Primary Source carefully. Look for clues within it that can serve as Evidence to make your Case.
For additional thoughts on how to consider this source, check the blue Ideas tab that appears on the right just below the Help tab. And if you’re working with a custom Challenge, notes from your teacher may be available as well.
When you’re making a Case, use the tools below the source to zoom and crop. For example, if you see a portion of an image you’d like to cite, you can crop to just that portion. Likewise, if you only want to include part of a video, you can move the sliders to indicate your desired start and stop time. When you have the right bit of Evidence, be sure to add your own notes below the Primary Source and then click Create Note to add it to your Case.
