1. Identify your source, its creator, where it was created, and the time period it comes from. Give background for your source.
2. Comment on the purpose of your source. What was it designed to do? How was it received?
3. What is the tone of your source? What is it saying? What does it tell us about the time period?
4. How can your source be interpreted? What can we learn from it? (Analysis)
You should also tell why this source interested you and how it might be used by a historian wanting to know more about the time period. Provide two extra sources that can be used to contextualize your source. A good paper will be able to link everything together, so keep this in mind. Do not simply re-state what the source tells us. You have to provide an interpretation and analysis of the source you have chosen. If, for example, you choose an advertisement for a Chinese laundry in Winnipeg, from the early 20th century, you will have to do more than describe the ad. What does the ad tell you about life in Canada for early Chinese immigrants? You will then need to find two sources about Chinese laundries in Canada and put your primary source into context. You may want to discuss the origins of Chinese laundries, why so many early Chinese immigrants worked in laundries, and other pertinent contextual information.
