HIS 100 Module Four Activity Historical Narrative Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Each historical event was experienced, perceived, and remembered differently depending on the person, which means there are many competing narratives of a single event. In this activity,
you will compare the narratives represented in each of your sources.
Prompt
Use the provided
Module Four Activity Template: Historical Narratives Word Document
to complete this activity. First, you will locate an additional secondary source related to your historical
event. You will then compare the narratives about your historical event in each of your sources (two primary and two secondary). Finally, you will choose a narrative you believe has been the
most in±uential in terms of what is known about your historical event.
Speci²cally, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Compare the narratives
presented in your primary and secondary sources relevant to your historical event.
Apply the source analysis skills from the previous activity to help you compare the narratives about your historical event. Describe the stories told in each source about your
historical event. Provide evidence from your sources to support your descriptions of the narratives. Consider the following questions:
How are the narratives in each source similar and/or different?
How has the story of your historical event and key ²gure or group (identi²ed in the previous module) been told in the past and the present?
From which perspectives are the narratives told?
What was occurring in society at the time of the event, such as politics, the economy, and entertainment?
Describe one narrative
that has signi²cantly in±uenced the contemporary understanding of your historical event.
Select one narrative from the four you analyzed. Choose the narrative that you think has been the most in±uential in terms of what is known and unknown about your historical
event. Explain why you chose this narrative and how it has impacted our current understanding of the event.
Explain how the chosen narrative helps you better understand your
historical research question.
How does the narrative you chose expand, support, or challenge your research question?
What to Submit
Submit the Module Four Activity Template: Historical Narratives. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the
