Please get out:1.All HI Materials2.A writing utensilPlease grab a rubric from the back counter

Your HI is due April 14th

PLAN OF THE INVESTIGATIONWorth 3 marks0 marks: There is no plan of the investigation, or it is

inappropriate/wouldn’t work.1 mark: The research question, method and scope of the investigation

are not clearly stated.2 marks: The research question is clearly stated. The method and

scope of the investigation are outlined and related to the research question.

3 marks: The research question is clearly stated. The method and scope of the investigation are fully developed and closely focused on the research question.

PLAN OF THE INVESTIGATION1. What is your question?2. What do you need to look at to be able to answer that

question? What do you need to know to be able to come to an answer?

3. Include words like method and scope and make sure they make sense for your HI question.

• Method: procedure; systematic way of accomplishing something. How are you going to accomplish this?!

• Scope: What are you going to investigate? What are you NOT going to investigate?

• Why is your question important? Why does it matter?

Evaluation of SourcesKey words?

EVALUATION OF SOURCESOrigin: Who created the source? When did they create the

source?

Purpose: Why was the source created? To inform? To persuade? To be artistic? To be critical?

Value: how did this source help you (the historian) answer your question?

Limitations: what did the source leave out? If it was the only source you (the historian) looked at, what perspective would you be missing?

YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!

Summary of Evidence● You will transfer the key pieces of information

from your research to a bulleted list (researching)● Each piece of evidence should support your

conclusion (relevant and factual)● You will put endnotes down at the bottom of the

word document when you do this (referencing)● Organize this either chronologically or

thematically (organization)

THINK OF IT LIKE A SCIENCE LAB

Analysis0 marks: There is no analysis.

1–2 There is some attempt at analyzing the evidence presented in section B.

3–4 There is analysis of the evidence presented in section B and references are included. There may be some awareness of the significance to the investigation of the sources evaluated in section C. Where appropriate, different interpretations are considered.

5–6 There is critical analysis of the evidence presented in section B, accurate referencing, and an awareness of the significance to the investigation of the sources evaluated in section C. Where appropriate, different interpretations are analyzed.

Analyzing evidence

● You will now answer this question for each piece of evidence

● How does this piece of evidence help answer my question?

Two Analysis Strategies to choose from:1. Do the same thing you did for your Mini HI (write

some analysis right beneath the bullet point) then take all of that analysis and organize it into paragraph form (600-700 words). You’ll have to add sentence links to make it into a coherent piece of writing.

2. Categorize the evidence that you found into related groups. Then create a paragraph/section of analysis for each of the categories you developed.

CONCLUSIONWorth 2 marks

0 marks: There is no conclusion, or the conclusion is not relevant.

1 mark: The conclusion is stated but is not entirely consistent with the evidence presented.

2 marks: The conclusion is clearly stated and consistent with the evidence presented.

CONCLUSIONWhat is your answer to your question?

Make sure it is based on your evidence! Much like a science experiment, you make conclusions based on what you see happen in the lab. If you don’t have physical evidence for it, you can’t make up a conclusion about it. USE THE EVIDENCE YOU FOUND.

Keep it around the word limit.

Chicago StyleIf you have questions about how to cite, what are your

options?

3.28.2014 OPVL WorkshopPlease get out your O + P

for your 2 best sources

Origin1. Who created it?2. What did they create?3. Where did they create it?4. When was it created?

Purpose1. Why does this document exist?2. Who is the intended audience?3. What action is the author asking the

audience to take?

Value1. What can we tell about the author from the piece?2. What can we tell about the time period from the

piece?3. What can we tell about any controversies from the

piece?a. Does the author represent a particular ‘side’ of

a controversy or event?4. What was going on in history at the time the piece

was created and how does this piece accurately reflect it?

Limitations1. Being biased does not limit the value of a source! If

you are going to comment on the bias of a document, you must go into detail. Who is it biased towards? Who is it biased against? What part of a story does it leave out? a. Sometimes a biased piece of work shows much about

the history you are studying2. Is anything questionable about this piece?3. Does this piece inaccurately reflect anything about the

time period?4. What does the author leave out and why does he/she

leave it out (if you know)?

Individual WorkWork on your own to develop a paragraph or

two putting together all of that information

Peer WorkGive it to your partner for feedback:

• What is effective about their OPVL?

• What is not effective?
