Presentation transcript:

Writing the “OPVL” Paragraph Historical inquiry and analysis often require students to examine primary and secondary source materials. Acronym Origin, Purpose, Value, Limitation Critical: reading, thinking, writing

The Goal Analytical paragraph 7 – 12 sentences 1 – 2 cited pieces of evidence/support

What is the source’s ORIGIN? Primary or secondary? Author/creator? When/Where created/published? Know anything about the origin that is pertinent to evaluation?

Am I looking at a PRIMARY or a SECONDARY source? PRIMARY SOURCES Created during period being studied Artwork, letters, journals, interviews, novels, movies, speeches, photos, paintings etc. Considered “first person” accounts Not filtered through interpretation or evaluation by others SECONDARY SOURCES Historiography Analyze/interpret events from the past Including primary sources Written with benefit of hindsight Often filter primary sources through interpretation/evaluation Often publications of some sort May reference primary sources One or more steps removed from the event being studied.

What is the source’s PURPOSE? Why does this document exist? What does the document “say”? Who is the intended audience? -Requires evaluation

What is the source’s VALUE to me? Tell us about the author? Indications of other perspectives? Indication of controversy? Tell us about the time period/audience? Accurately reflect what going on at the time? Under what circumstances was it created and how are those circumstances reflected?

How is the source a LIMITATION to me? When no longer useful to my research/understanding? What can we not tell from this document? Content verifiable? More information needed to best use the source? Anything inaccurate or “wrong”?

How do I comment on a bias? May represent value or limitation May relate to purpose, value, or limitation Go into detail Who biased against/toward?
