Year 10 History
Civil Rights Source Analysis Task
Final Due: Friday Week 11 (Beginning of lesson)
Name & Home group:

Being able to analyse a source is an important skill to have as a History student. You need to be able to critically evaluate and explain a source’s usefulness and, its limitations. This task has two parts. Read on and be excited!
Part 1 - Source Analysis

Select one photo from each:
a) Australian Civil Rights Movement
b) American Civil Rights Movement
You need to save a copy of each, paste it to a word document that you will submit as part of your assignment. Complete the following for each source:
a) Provide correct referencing details (use SLASA)
b) Complete the activities on the attached pages for BOTH photos.
HINT: Make sure that you choose a photo that has enough in it for you to analyse. A photo of a sign and nothing else around it will not give you enough to write about.
You cannot choose a picture from the topic that you chose for your Research task.
You do not have to fill each section in the boxes/ tables.

Part 2 - Create a Source - 1938 Day of Mourning

It is expected that you will have approximately 8 texts between the two people (4 each).
