Using their source analysis logs, students rank evidence for usefulness, credibility, and bias across primary and secondary texts on their chosen case. In pairs, they place source cards into supports, partly supports, and challenges, then justify why one source should be used as counterevidence rather than ignored. The class closes with a short comparison of how framing changes interpretation.
