Some of the terms above could be points or could inform your points.
Begin by deleting all the questions except for the one you’re choosing.

Section 3. Analysis of Historical Sources (50 points). This section will test whether you understand how to analyze primary & secondary sources to support an argument. You will use your Argument-Evidence Assignment as a starting point, but you will turn your notes into an essay organized around your claims. I expect to see a more polished introductory paragraph with a clear thesis, separate body paragraphs that contain a clear claim and effective analysis of primary and secondary source evidence, and a conclusion that ties your claims together and reminds your readers of how your claims address the question.
For this exam, compose an essay that answers the following question: What actually happened in the Boston Massacre? And who was really to blame?
