=Break Down Historical Documents=


 * **Title**: ||< Analyze Sources and Identify Bias ||
 * **Subject**: ||< US History ||
 * **Grade**: ||< High School ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< 20 minutes ||
 * **Summary:** ||< Students are given a copy of SOAPSTone handout and fill in the notes. We discuss how to understand the deeper meaning of some sources by examining the author, purpose, etc. We then practice with a song and music video. ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< 1)Students given a handout
 * Watch a music video, Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue"
 * Students discuss the Speaker and his back ground and the effect that would have on his music.
 * We look at the time period when it was produce, post 9-11, and the effect that would have on his music.
 * Audience intended for the music, Purpose, Significance, and Tone are the rest of the acronym. ||
 * Objectives: ||< * What TEKS or other objectives does this activity/lesson project meet? I'll have to look that up and get back to you. ||
 * Assessment: ||< After going through with a class, the students can do this with their own music they like, but I would want to encourage them to find a politically charged song, because it makes it more relevant. ||
 * Resources: ||< * I showed a music video; the students could also do this through a class discussion on line if you wanted to extend, but I haven't gotten there yet. ||
 * **Teacher**
 * Reflections:** || Making sure to plan well enough to get the right amount of time. I would also, quickly add in something we would have to look at in the time period. ||
 * **Examples**: ||< * [|Music Video - Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue] ||
