QUICK SOURCING – WORLD WAR I

Preparation
• Download Primary Sources—World War I
• 3x5 note cards or cut up paper

Purpose
This sourcing collection, along with the Quick-Sourcing Tool, gives you an opportunity to practice a quicker kind of sourcing than you do in the sourcing
practice progression. The tool and the process for using it—specifically designed for unpacking document collections—will help you be successful when
responding to document-based questions (DBQs).

Process
If you are unfamiliar with the Quick-Sourcing Tool or the process for using it, we recommend reviewing the Quick-Sourcing Introduction activity in Lesson 1.2.

The Quick-Sourcing Tool can be used any time you encounter a set of sources and are trying to respond to a prompt or question, as opposed to the deeper
analysis you do when using the HAPPY tool that is part of the sourcing progression.

First, take out or download the sourcing collection and review the guiding question that appears on the first page. Then, take out or download the Quick-
Sourcing Tool and review the directions. For Part 1, you’ll write a quick summary of each source in terms of how it relates to the guiding question (we
recommend using one note card or scrap of paper for each source).

For Part 2, which uses the first four letters of the acronym from the HAPPY tool, you only have to respond to one of these four questions. You should always
include the historical significance or “why” (the “Y” in “HAPPY”) for any of the four questions you choose to respond to.

In Part 3, you’ll gather the evidence you found in each document and add it to your note cards so you can include it in a response later. Once each document
is analyzed, look at your note cards and try to categorize the cards. There might be a group of documents that support the claim you want to make in your
response, and another group that will help you consider counterclaims, for example.

To wrap up, try to respond to the guiding question.

Directions: Use the questions below to help you analyze and sort through the sources. After you examine the sources individually, it’s helpful to consider
how you might group them in ways that help you support your argument. You may find yourself moving back and forth between the Individual Sources and
Sourcing Collection sections as you work to understand how they can both individually and collectively help you respond to the prompt.
