Primary Source Analysis

The Setup

Create a notebook with:

  • Primary source documents
  • Historical context materials
  • Analysis frameworks (HIPP, SOAPSTone, etc.)

Student Workflow

  1. Read the primary source independently
  2. Query NotebookLM for context and connections
  3. Use the analysis framework to structure their interpretation
  4. Verify claims against the sources

Sample Prompts

  • "What historical context helps explain why this document was written?"
  • "How does this primary source compare to the textbook's description of this event?"
  • "What perspective or bias might the author have had?"
