Answer 1

Thinking Like a Historian
A painting of St. Nestor The Chronicler, the first Russian historiographer, standing at a podium, writing.© Public Domain Historiographers, like
St. Nestor the Chronicler who is shown in this painting, evaluate both primary and secondary sources. They reflect upon what potential bias each source may have and attempt to record history with as little bias as possible.

Movies and TV shows where a detective is trying to solve a crime or other mystery are popular. In many ways, a historian’s work is like that of a detective. Historians carefully try to put together the pieces of history by looking at primary and secondary sources. This is similar to the way detectives look at evidence when trying to solve a case. In this assessment, you will have an opportunity to work like a true historian. You will study evidence and develop a logical conclusion based on sources presented to you.

In this assessment, you will respond to a document-based question. A document-based question tests your ability to analyze primary and secondary sources. In addition to analyzing the sources, you will also have to use information that you learned in this module to support your response to the prompt.

You will first be expected to analyze six documents that deal with the medieval period in Europe and Japan. Then you will choose at least three of these documents to discuss in your work in an attempt to defend your thesis. A thesis is an academic term used to refer to the claim or point you are trying to prove.

Your thesis will directly answer the question:

“Is ‘the Dark Ages’ an appropriate term to describe the Middle Ages?”

Your body paragraphs will support the thesis that you have developed.

Before you complete the assessment, you will be provided with tips that will help you understand how to analyze sources and use them to respond to a prompt.
