Some will involve source analysis – i.e. you will analyze political cartoons and/or excerpts from primary sources using the same set of questions that we used in class when analyzing the engraving of the women’s march on Versailles. This time, you will be analyzing sources that you have not seen/read before, but you will be familiar with the concepts and events that they refer to.
