Step 1-Read the question • What is it asking you to do? Are there key words or phrases that will help you figure out how to organize these documents? Step 2- Read the source lines • What, if anything do you know about the authors, regions, and time periods when the docs were written? Are there patterns in the source lines that will help you organize the documents?
Step 3. Create a graphic organizer for the documents • Use the key terms/info from the question to help construct this
Step 4. Read the Documents • As you read, underline key phrases that relate to the question • Fill in the graphic organizer • Use abbrevs/ doesn’t have 2 B neat
Step 5-Identify groupings • Reread the question • Look at data in your organizer • Identify docs with similarities RELATED TO THE QUESTION • Come up with 4 groups of documents Example: Docs 3 & 5 both call for…
6. Using your groupings write your thesis paragraph • Restate question • Groupings should be identified and explained in thesis Example: Docs 1,2, and 4 all show…

Additional documents: which one is a better example? Why? To better answer this question… It would help to have a document from Ashoka because he would say that leaders should be religiously tolerant. It would help to have a letter from an adviser to a South Asian leader to that leader during the 4th century BCE explaining how he should rule to see how Buddhism influenced Indian views on governing the way Confucianism did in China.
