What to do with original sources? Single document to open up fresh perspective: don’t be afraid to go into detail and consider issues of interpretation/context; analysis rather than just illustration Consideration of a concentrated body of original sources to provide a case study to address broader question (and offer fresh insight) Impressive to use material that demonstrates research skills in locating, identifying significance, and original interpretation
