Analyzing Sources and Evidence

Be a History Detective

When you read a letter, look at a photo, or watch a documentary, ask questions: Who made this? Why? What’s missing? Comparing sources and looking for bias helps you understand what really happened and why people remember things differently.

Examples

  • Comparing two newspaper reports about the same event.

  • Spotting bias in a movie about a famous historical figure.
