  12. Bias in Primary Sources • Every source is biased in some way • Ask questions about the source: • Who created it? • Why was it created? • Who is the audience? • When and where was it created? • What emotional images and /or words are included to sway the reader to a certain point of view? • Pearl Harbor

  13. Analyzing Primary Sources • Observe—What can you find out about the soldier from the specific details in the documents/photos? • Reflect—Can you infer or make an educated guess about something that was happening to him based on your observations? • Question—What questions do you have about the soldier and what he was doing after you observe and reflect?
