Analyzing History: The Historian’s Craft

Part I: Analyzing History: The Historian’s Craft
This assignment will ask you to do a few things:
A. Read/Analyze a set of primary sources, including art works, first-hand accounts, and letters,
related to the historical period of Spanish and Portuguese expansion
B. Analyze sources and start thinking how they will support your thesis statement.
*The objective of Part I is to get students to think like a historian, doing many of the same things
that people in this profession and field of study do.

Part II: The Write Up
Taking a look at empires and global trading networks during a period of imperial expansion.
How do the sources provide information about empires, and what they pursued in the New World? Please
explain if the images and documents provided yield a sufficient account of what the experience was like for
both natives and European exploration and conquest.

Formulating a Thesis: Create a thesis statement! Please do not be intimidated by this, just think of a solid
statement that will support your argument throughout the write up. Your thesis statement should
respond to the sources you will analyze (i.e. slides/docs/etc). This should be in your beginning paragraph.

Part III: Wrapping it up
Thinking Hypothetically: If you feel that you could use or integrate another primary source(s) to get a
better understanding of this cultural exchange, what kind of sources would you be looking for? Include
this part in the end.
