27. BELLWORK: Overtly Purposeful Creations for Victory in the Long-term
BELLWORK: Overtly Purposeful Creations for Victory in the Long-term! (AKA - OPCVL excitement!!!) 
How should you organize your OPCVL analysis?
What are some things to consider when analyzing for “value?”
What are some things to consider when analyzing for “limitation?”
THINKER: Why might a primary document (like FDR’s speech) be both valuable AND limited?

28. Practice OPCVL Analysis – Grade & Reflection
With reference to its origin, purpose, and content, analyze the value and limitations for FDR’s Fireside Chat for a historian studying the New Deal.
Things to consider when self-editing:
Need to demonstrate understanding of source within the historical context
Aspects of O, P, and C may overlap – that is ok.
You should NOT just summarize the source – needs to be more evaluative/analytical in nature
Do NOT be vague! Expand on points! For example….
BAD: The purpose of this Fireside Chat was to instill confidence in the American populace which limits the source.
BETTER: The purpose of this Fireside Chat was to instill confidence in the American populace which limits the source because it is used to promote the programs and positive in nature; therefore, it does not address problems that remain unsolved.
