Students examine one primary source and one secondary or multimedia source on a shared Cultural Revolution topic using a teacher-modeled comparison routine and a short source log in the Propaganda Clue Hunter Research Notebook. They write a first investigable question, then exchange notebooks with a partner to check whether the question is specific, answerable with evidence, and tied to source purpose. Students revise the question after feedback and add one note about how source type may change meaning or reliability; the librarian or media literacy specialist is introduced as a support for the next phase.
