Submission Required
Students use one historical source pair and one modern example to compare purpose, audience, reliability, and persuasive impact. They write board-ready captions that explain whether each source informs, persuades, or tries to control thinking, and they support each judgment with specific visual or textual clues. The teacher models how to tighten a claim by separating summary from interpretation before students revise their own captions.
