INSTRUCTIONS:
1.The teacher will distribute a set of
statements to different students in the
class.
2. Each student must read their statement
silently and look for a clue — you may notice
bold or unusual letters in the sentence. These
letters are important.
INSTRUCTIONS:
3. After reading their statements, students must
group themselves with others whose statements
they believe are similar in type — based on where
the information in the scenario is coming from.
4. Once grouped, students will work together to
combine the bold letters from their statements.
These letters, when arranged correctly, will form a
word that reveals the type of source they all share.
INSTRUCTIONS:
5. Each group will then present
the word they formed and
explain what kind of source their
statements describe.

they still be valuable for research
and understanding culture?
