Primary sources form the foundation of historical inquiry for Grade 11 students, providing direct access to the voices, documents, and artifacts of the past. Reading comprehension activities focused on primary sources challenge students to analyze original letters, speeches, government documents, diary entries, and other firsthand accounts from significant historical periods. These carefully curated reading passages develop critical thinking skills as students learn to evaluate the credibility, perspective, and context of historical sources while answering text-based questions that require deep analysis and interpretation. Through systematic engagement with primary source materials, students strengthen their ability to distinguish between fact and opinion, identify author bias, and draw evidence-based conclusions about historical events and their lasting impact.
