Communication Primary Sources

For this assignment, you will choose one of the three primary source sets posted on D2L under Content
> Resources for Assignments > Primary Source Analysis Assignment. You will offer a written analysis
of what one or more of the sources within your chosen set reveal about the historical context in which
they were produced. (For example, one photograph, article, or advertisement counts as one source. You
can choose to write about just one primary source, but you may find that adding additional primary
sources allows you to develop a deeper analysis.) You should address each of the points below, but
rather than offering point-form responses, you should present your analysis as a short, well-organized,
well-written essay (with a minimum word count of 800 words). It should include at least one
introductory sentence and one concluding sentence. Please note for the purposes of this assignment, your
analysis should focus on a primary source or sources within one of the primary source sets provided—
writing about unrelated primary sources at length is not acceptable.

Please be clear about
which primary sources you are discussing in your assignment; if you’re discussing images, it would be
helpful to include the images at the end of your assignment.

With your analysis, you should respond to the following general questions, as well as the source-specific
questions listed below that apply to the primary sources you’ve chosen.
