  5. OPVL’s in IB HOTA

  6. OPVL • Origin, Purpose, Value, Limitation • Must be done in two IB assignments: • Paper 1 (Arab-Israeli Conflict ---- like a DBQ) • Internal Assessment (done for two books of your choice for your project)

  7. Origin 1. Who created it? 2. Who is the author? 3. When was it created? 4. When was it published? 5. Where was it published? 6. Who is publishing it? 7. Is there anything we know about the author that is pertinent to our evaluation? 8. What was going on in history at the time that is relevant to this document?

  8. PURPOSE • Why does this document exist? • Why did the author create this piece of work? • What is the intent? • Why did the author choose this particular format? • Who is the intended audience? • Who was the author thinking would receive this? • What does the document “say”? • Can it tell you more than is on the surface?

  9. VALUE • What can we tell about the author from the piece? • What can we tell about the time period from the piece? • Under what circumstances was the piece created and how does the piece reflect those circumstances? • What can we tell about any controversies from the piece? • Does the author represent a particular ‘side’ of a controversy or event? • What can we tell about the author’s perspectives from the piece? • What was going on in history at the time the piece was created and how does this piece accurately reflect it?

  10. LIMITATION • Being biased does not limit the value of a source! If you are going to comment on the bias of a document, you must go into detail. Who is it biased towards? Who is it biased against? What part of a story does it leave out? Sometimes a biased piece of work shows much about the history you are studying. • What part of the story can we NOT tell from this document? • How can we verify the content of the piece? • Does this piece inaccurately reflect anything about the time period? • What does the author leave out and why does he/she leave it out (if you know)? • What is purposely not addressed?

  11. Let’s Practice!

  12. William Jennings BryanCampaign Speech, 1896 If they dare to come out in the open field and defend the gold standard as a good thing, we shall fight them to the uttermost, having behind us the producing masses of the nation and the world. Having behind us the commercial interests and the laboring interests and all the toiling masses, we shall answer their demands for a gold standard by saying to them, you shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.

  13. ORIGIN • Election of 1896 • WJB’s Campaign Speech • Major issue of election: gold standard v. silver standard • McKinley (R) – Gold Standard • Bryan (D) – Bimetallism, Silverite • McKinley won the election of 1896 • Many working class people (Populists) supported Bryan and his ideas

  14. PURPOSE • It’s a democratic campaign speech – trying to convince voters that the gold standard favors the upper-class, elite. • It’s time for change – government needs to protect, represent the “little man.”

  15. VALUE • We can see the major issues of the period (Gilded Age) – huge inequalities in distribution of wealth. • It reflects the opinion of a minority of voters – as evidenced by the winner of the election.

  16. Limitation • Since Bryan lost, does this prove that most Americans sided with the wealthy? • We don’t know how McKinley responded – or if he felt the need to respond at all. • This speech is famous, yet Bryan lost – is this speech an accurate reflection of the period?

  17. More Practice!

  18. The Big Stick in the Caribbean Sea, 1904 (W.A. Rogers)

  19. And Again…

  20. How the Other Half LivesJacob Riis, 1890 Be a little careful, please! The hall is dark and you might stumble over the children pitching pennies back there. Not that it would hurt them; kicks and cuffs are their daily diet. They have little else. Here where the hall turns and dives into utter darkness is a step, and another, another. A flight of stairs. You can feel your way, if you cannot see it. Close? Yes! What would you have? All the fresh air that ever enters these stairs comes from the hall-door that is forever slamming, and from the windows of dark bedrooms that in turn receive from the stairs their sole supply of the elements God meant to be free, but man deals out with such niggardly hand. That was a woman filling her pail by the hydrant you just bumped against. The sinks are in the hallway, that all the tenants may have access--and all be poisoned alike by their summer stenches. Hear the pump squeak! It is the lullaby of tenement-house babes. In summer, when a thousand thirsty throats pant for a cooling drink in this block, it is worked in vain. But the saloon, whose open door you passed in the hall, is always there. The smell of it has followed you up. Here is a door. Listen! That short hacking cough, that tiny, helpless wail--what do they mean? They mean that the soiled bow of white you saw on the door downstairs will have another story to tell--Oh! a sadly familiar story--before the day is at an end. The child is dying with measles. With half a chance it might have lived; but it had none. That dark bedroom killed it.
