B and c each look at the students outside knowledge to create an argument in support of each of the author's. By pushing for evidence not in the documents, students must reach for additional information and analyze it so that it can be used as appropriate interpretations.]]> 2022-06-28 20:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232759436 agrogman https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232759439 Questions B and C are asking students to explain the significance of historical events and argue a point rather than just describing the authors point Question A]]> 2022-06-28 20:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232759439 https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232759650 First, students formulate an answer that can be clearly found in the sources. Then, students must bring in outside knowledge to prove what was stated in the source. Overall, students must support two opposing arguments which will inevitably mean they disagree with at least one of them. This forces them to find evidence in history to support that argument and not just parrot a commonly held opinion on the topic.]]> 2022-06-28 20:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232759650 https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232759709 Instead of summarizing the documents, the question is asking students to apply the given documents into their own interpretation by accessing their own pool of knowledge.

This SAQ demonstrates that by asking the students to explain and analyze those interpretations rather than summarize a historical event to understand that there can be conflicting views of history.]]> 2022-06-28 20:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232760022 https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232760248 The question requires evidence to answer, and also forces students to consider what is absent/excluded from the source itself — which requires deeper analysis.]]> 2022-06-28 20:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232760248 https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232760623 Answer: The sources provided  are two contrasting interpretations of the American Revolution and the role of women. Students need to know more than the facts. Yes, the Revolution happened and women were involved. But what is the meaning of their involvement? Did the status of women change or did it reinforce the status quo ante? ]]> 2022-06-28 20:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232760623 https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232760802 This question moves student to analyzing diverse historical interpretations by having students take the information that they have learned about the content and apply it to an analysis.

Students must use their historical background knowledge, synthesize and analyze different secondary sources, in order to make a back up a claim about women's role in the revolutionary period. (Interesting to note- who are we centering? This can provide student an opportunity for nuanced response regarding non-white/ non-wealthy women. )]]> 2022-06-28 20:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232760962 https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232761024 The question shifts the focus from the American Revolution to the role of women during that time period.]]> 2022-06-28 20:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232761024 https://padlet.com/avdistrict/11stb5smsb0lgib0/wish/2232761143 Students need to be able to answer the main point/differences in A in order to draw evidence for B and C.
