What you’ll learn

  1. Frame and identifyTurn disagreement into a question and record provenance.Source cards make authorship, audience, and purpose visible before judging claims.
  2. Perspective and languageExplain perspective and compare framing language.Position shapes what a source can show; labels carry interpretation.
  3. Evidence and corroborationTest support, note omissions, and compare overlap.Corroboration diagnoses agreement and conflict rather than forcing harmony.
  4. Write and auditWrite a comparison paragraph and audit the result.Name agreement, difference, reason, and limit in a visible structure.

Questions this course answers

What should you do before judging which source is more reliable?

Provenance and purpose determine what each source could know and what it was trying to do.

What does corroboration ask you to compare?

Corroboration tests how sources support, qualify, or challenge one another.

Why is 'biased' not enough as a source judgment?

Usefulness depends on the claim and the kind of evidence the source can provide.

What is a careful way to describe an omission?

Silence establishes a boundary of the source, not proof about the event itself.

What belongs in a strong comparison conclusion?

A conclusion should state what the evidence supports, why the accounts differ, and what remains uncertain.
