Hippoing Documents
Analyzing Documents
Historical Context:
H.I.P.P.Oing Documents
Analysis of ‘Historical Context’ involves connecting a document to specific historical events, to specific
circumstances of time and place, and/or to broader regional, national, or global processes. Identifying
the ‘Historical Context’ places the document within broader trends which are contemporary to the
source. It might also connect the document across time to earlier and later eras, or across space to
events happening in different places.
Intended Audience:
Explain to the Reader who the author had in mind when he/she created the document.
Purpose:
Explain to the Reader why was the document created?
Point of View:
Point of view is the angle of considering things, which shows us the opinion, or feelings of the individuals
involved in a situation.
Outside Information:
Explain to the Reader one piece of outside information that is not contained in the document (but is
spurred from the document) and why it is important to that time period.

Columbus Discovers America (1492), Saturday October 13th
“At dawn many of these men came down to the shore, all are, as already,
said, youths of good size and very handsome: their hair is not wooly, but loose
and course like horse hair, they have broader heads and foreheads than I have
seen in any other race of men, and the eyes very beautiful not small, none of
them are black, but of the completions of the inhabitants of the Canaries, as it
is to be expected, for it is east [and] west with the island of Hierro in the
Canaries, in the same line [latitude]. All without exception have very straight
limbs, and no bellies, and very well formed. They came to the ship in canoes,
made out of trunks of trees all in one piece, and wonderfully built according to
the locality, in some of them forty or forth-five men came, others were
smaller, and in some but a single man came.

Bartolomé de las Casas Condemns Spanish Treatment of the
Indians (circa. 1510)
In exchange for his life of services, an Indian received 225 maravedis, paid
them once a year as pin money or cacona, as Indians call it, which means
bonus or reward. This sum bought a comb, a small mirror, and a string of
green or blue glass beads.
I believe the above clearly demonstrates that the Indians were totally
deprived of their freedom and were put in the harshest, fiercest, most
horrible servitude and captivity which no one who has not seen it can
understand. Even beasts enjoy more freedom when they are allowed to graze
in the fields. When the Indians were allowed to go home, they often found it
deserted and had no other recourse than to go out into the woods to find
food and die. When they fell ill, which was very frequently because they are a
delicate people unaccustomed to such work, the Spaniards did not believe
them and pitilessly called them lazy dogs, and kicked and beat them, and
when illness was apparent they sent them home as useless.

Bring 6 copies of the Document . HIPPO the document
Step 2
• When you come back tomorrow, you will have a document and you have hippoed it as well.
Step 3
You will be put in a group of 6 or 7 class members. You will read each document they bring
to the table. Your task is to see if they have hippoed it. If not, help them to HIPPO it right.
Step 4
After reading all the documents, you will create a Document –Based question.
Example question: Analyze the various responses to the outbreaks of plague from the
fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Discuss the beliefs and concerns that these
responses express.
Step 5
You will create a poster which has your constructed question and the documents of your
group following the question.
Step 6
You will write a thesis paragraph using the following steps in the next slide
INTRO Paragraph with thesis statement
1st sentence – Broad context/time-period
2nd sentence – HISTORICAL CONTEXT (explain the immediate
backdrop for your essay)
3rd sentence – THESIS – specifically answer all parts of the

Thesis Checklist
• To be effective, remember there are three things your thesis must do.
Before you go on to the body of the paper, check to see if your thesis
has all 3 necessary elements. If it does not, go back and rewrite your
thesis so that your FRQ/DBQ response successfully does its job.
• The thesis must address all parts of the question.
• The thesis must contain 3 organizational categories
• The thesis must be clear, concise, analytical and specific
XYZ Thesis
• 1. XYZ: Answer the question in the first part of your thesis and then follow
it up with your Plan of Attack (POA). The POA should consist of your
organizational categories.
• Example: Analyze the causes of the French Revolution of 1789.
• The French Revolution broke out because of political, economic, and social
problems in France, which had existed since the time of Louis XIV. The 3rd
estate lacked voting and political power, the tax structure was unfair to the
lower classes, and the 3rd estate still owed feudal dues and obligations to
the nobility, contradicting the Enlightenment idea that all men are created
equal.”
